    About the two different trucks in the station... We couldn't afford to buy a new rig so the department went looking a used piece. It just so happened that this one was the closest to our specs, so we purchased it. Not only is it a working piece for us it is also a piece of history from Kentland. We have since pulled off all the stripes and are kinda doing a mini refurb inhouse. More pictures to come after it's complete.
