John, I tend to agree with you. Especially about the less trucks being operated. But I've seen companies using more temporary employees vs hiring permanent in my area. This creates less experienced operators. But it allows companies to not pay benefits. They can let someone go without threat of repercussions. And not keep up with their safety training, it's the Temp Service that they work for that this falls back on. But I try to explain to my customers that it's their work place, their equipment & ultimately their responsibility to make sure the people operating their equipment are qualified & trained.

We do have a branch south of Atlanta. But from 1988- 1997 I was a Field Service Mechanic out of our Anniston, AL. branch. I transferred to our Tuscaloosa, AL. branch in Sept. of 1997 as a Product Support Rep. We didn't buy out Gregory Poole in Georgia until 1999.

But I have been to the factory numerous times, if you're speaking of MCFA.
