    I think the apparatus looks terrible. Do I think the Chevrons are helping?? Lets see My Engine 1 got hit by a Tractor trailer, Then there was Stratford shortly (2 rigs) therafter so I'm gonna go with no on this one. as for the vest we have to don they get a BIG thumbs down.

    Lets stick with two rigs taking the lane of traffic and leave the striping and the vest back in the store where they belong.

    I do not know all of the info concerning the crash in Stamford, BUT, the 2 major reasons for the accident in Stratford were WEATHER & SPEED (2 tractor trailer units driving way too fast around a semi blind curve that changes elevation during one of the many ice storms this past winter at night). One engine that was struck did not have chevrons while the other engine did.

    It's good to see Smeal can actually build something with a low hosebed...most places forget about the importance of being able to access the stuff that is the reason for the apparatus existence! Being from Nebraska, we see a lot of Smeal...but they tend to downplay the importance of a low hosebed in favor of compartment space. I look forward to seeing the pics of the finished product!

    This isn't the only low hosebed truck that Smeal has sold out on the East Coast. Check out recent deliveries to White Plains & Yonkers (White Plains built on Freightliner chassis & Yonkers are built on Spartan chassis) :D
