I had helped Mr. Rankin on several occasions to assist him in preparing his bid. He is no longer with Peterbilt. The Peterbilt chassis is in direct competition with the Mack. Ron Blackwell Truck Center Bentonville, AR: Cody Manus stated he could not prepare a spec that was suitable for an application with a refuse body that was a front loader. Sterling Trucks of Arkansas Little Rock, AR Don Robbins stated that the chassis that was available to him by the manufacturer was not compatible with a front loader sanitation body. This unit is a very specialized piece of equipment. We only have 1 authorized Distributor for this style body in our area. This is J & R Equipment of Oklahoma City.
