This from Jeff Rudolph:

We picked it up Tuesday morning. Skokie E-17, 2013 Pierce Dash CF on a PUC body ( first delivered to Illinois) 1500/500. It’s uniqueness is the rear hosebed. Trying to get the shoulder loads as low as possible we designed slide-out trays below the hosebed to hold the 1 3/4″ and 2 1/2″ shoulder loads, a first for Pierce. Should be in service in about a month, will get you a nice shot in the spring. Jeff Rudolph.
