  Yes Bill,
  The new HIT rigs will be 2 piece companies with the E-One Front Boxes and Freightliner 2nd pieces that are a modernized version of the current 5-1-1a, but these rigs haven’t been seen even in production yet so who knows when they’ll go in service.

  If I am correct aren’t the Hazmat companies supposed to be in effect 2 piece companies as each Hazmat Company is supposed to be running with Haz Mat support unitz using a commercial chassis vehicle as the New E/One Hazmat Squads are smaller than the 2 ALF Giant Hazmat Squads?

  Wasn’t Eversole the guy who established the team 40 years ago? I did not see his name in the video. Where on the rig is it?
  Does anybody know how the two squad boxes are coming along? At the very least, they desperately need those two boxes. I am guessing the boxes will be complete either in June or July since they started production in February
