Those conversations are made by ESI Equipment in Montgomeryville, PA. I am the upstate NY dealer.

HME couldn't sell in their backyard?

I've never been to the show but I'll ask how are the vendors crappy. Is it just a bunch of t-shirts? I'm guessing they have apparatus and other emergency vehicles there.

It doesn't matter what the IA Lt. was doing, he should be setting the example. If he was speeding then he should have stopped placed the keys on the roof hands on the dash, with all windows down. If he gave the patrol officer lip which it looks like he did then it looks like he got what he had coming. Really strange that were 4 other cats that cost by though.

US Tanker: Just delivered to Quaker Street FD Schenectady County just off of I-88. This is an answer to the request from a commanding officer for a tanker & manpower or an engine & manpower. Quaker Street wanted to make this unit truly a multipurpose unit and fill the requests of other departments while utilizing only one unit. They also needed a second piece of apparatus for a back-up. This unit is built on a Freightliner chassis with a Hale 1250 gpm Hale pump with an APR 2000 gwt. http://www.ustanker.com/Deliveries/Delivery/Default.aspx?OrderId=1198

I'm wondering with a front mount pump have you considered shutting off the grill and bumper flashers? That way the operator can see without being blinded by the LEDs . The other option is that you could at least knock them down the LEDs to a lower power?

If you go with a true full 4 door 4x4 you will be limited in the size of the module you are able to use. I am not sure about the TerraStar but I will look into it.

Here is an article about my latest delivery. http://www.stargazette.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2013304200034&nclick_check=1

It's usually written to the specifications that the vehicle shall be delivered under it's own power to "shake:" the bugs out of it first.

$ 50.00 for a bid package. There's a customer who knows what they want and are willing to pay for it.

I think the Chief and Union could come to an agreement for October that the crews could wear pink t shirts while on duty but when October is over it's back to the regular uniform. If there was/is a function that requires class A's then that is what should be worn. Yes uniform policy is policy but the Chief and the Union usually agree and set that policy so an amendment in support of breast cancer isn't far off base. I agree there are many causes I don't think Voyager of the Seas has enough area to hold all the magnetic ribbons supporting someone's cause. My daughter has Sickle Cell disease can I get a ribbon?

Dodge was never noted for having a stellar frame rail system. Maybe it has changed.

Our dealership has one brand. The bigger dealers have little loyalty it usually comes down to who will allow them the best percentage on a sale. The reason they are about even on pricing is so the dealer can give you many options for the same general price. Brand A is low price, bigger profit for the dealer, Brand B is middle of the road smaller/average profit, Brand C high end smallest profit. The thing about all three of them they are all sold by dealer # 1 It doesn't matter what they sell because they have all the bases covered. I sell one brand and make a fair profit on it, I do not make a killing nor do I give a unit away. My units are high quality and we stand behind they all the way. If you research the big dealers some you will find they are changing brands very often and it is about the business and the profit. I believe in crew safety and patient safety. Nothing is more important to me.
