Well guys I'm inclined to agree with Sean, it doesn't look godd for you
getting your trucks built, but on a good note i saw on a CC webpage that
they're increasing their annual truck production capacity by like a
million units next year so if you don't get it this year it should be
pretty easy to get one next year (unless of course the demand keeps
increasing, and from what I've heard it's increasing at a pretty good
clip), or so one would hope.
