This from Dennis McGuire, Jr.:
The truck dealer at 138th and Pulaski in Robbins once again has some “new” rigs in his yard.The truck is an X-Milwaukee, Wis. and I’m not sure about the ambo, but maybe it’s Milwaukee also.Dennis

Milwaukee seems to turn over rigs as young as 14-15 years nowadays. Perhaps it’s just cheaper to buy new ones than spending more than general maintenance. I think that PIERCE is a late 1990’s or early 2000’s.

Its just some guy who buys rigs and resells them. Mostly on Ebay. If Milwaukee is getting rid of it is must be not worth keeping.

How much is that ladder going for? Does this company have a website with prices?

The truck is ex-Milwaukee as well. MFD loves to reuse many parts as demonstrated by the picture. Makes sense.
