Has anyone heard if ALF is going out of business? Chapter 11? Looking for a new buyer? CURIOUS?

ALF is not going out of business. They were bought by another company from Frieghtliner quite some time ago and just opened up a new huge facility in South Carolina.

E-One is currently in some fiscal trouble. Are you mistaking companies? As for right now, E-One is still in operation and owned by Federal Signal though they area experiencing a huge profit loss.

The information we heard is about a month old. A fellow co-worker was talking to a department who tried to order a new truck and was told that ALF was having financial diffucuties and could not build the unit. We have also heard a number of new vehicles are on back order? E-one we heard about. Just wondering if anyone can confirm this? HOPE THIS IS NOT TRUE.

As far as I know ALF is going strong and my career department deals with ALF's CT dealership and they haven't said anything. Sure it isn't you local dealer that is having problems? I know there was a short production lapse whn the move took place during the summer.

Sounds like Oshkosh/Pierce are going to outlive everyone else.
