the manufactures are forcing to many Dealers into local conflict.

they are trying to force down the prices of the trucks by giving more dealers access to their equipment so they can force down the prices and allow them to make money out of the spares department. The selling price is now not as important as the on going spares sales. The only people that are losing out are the dealers who are seeing the territory getting smaller with more competitors sell the same equipment. The manufactures will still charge the same price to the dealer so they are happy. Dealers seem to be dispensable and many are willing to take on a manufacture who has a local dealer to try to undercut and get the business


Manufactures are going to have to be more responsible when making choices with dealers and stop giving away to much territory because they will force some out of business
