Down here, the rigs are in service before I can get to them.[/quote]
I have a variety of contacts with some dealers or larger FD's where I can get photos right when it is delivered. I have found, however, that often times the truck is missing insignia's, hose, or other equipment that get added at a later time or when the apparatus is delivered to the station. Not saying it is a bad thing to have those contacts, but I have found myself wishing I had waited on some photos.
The Leesburg tiller is the exception - it appears it is ready with both lettering, striping, tools, etc.
