Um 151 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:08,959 started Monday morning. Got to see the truck finally complete. It's we looked 152 00:14:06,399 --> 00:14:14,639 back. This has been a 4-year project. I was Ted, our sales rep, the Tuesday 153 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:17,040 after Labor Day in 2022. So, this has been a long 154 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:22,160 » Yeah. >> labor intensive at times project. 155 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:26,639 Right away, we noticed some things that were incorrect, as you will out on a 156 00:14:24,079 --> 00:14:32,880 build like this. Realistically, compared to some we've seen, weren't too bad. In 157 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:37,920 total, we had 74 corrections that I have a list here. We went over one by one 158 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:42,320 with the project manager and the lead on the floor to tell us what the plan is to 159 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:47,519 fix it. A lot of it is scuff mark, a little bit 160 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:51,519 of run out of paint that already went through overnight after we saw it the 161 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:58,079 first time. And we're already getting it prep for paint. Little things. We had 162 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:03,519 Ben's a certified diesel mechanic. He crawled underneath, looked at everything 163 00:15:00,079 --> 00:15:08,160 there. So, we had a game plan for all the corrections. 164 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:13,839 First and foremost, it's a beautiful truck. I mean, we had multiple 165 00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:19,279 departments coming up to us, hey, we have red trucks, but that looks sharp. 166 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:23,360 So, well worth it. All the equipment works. We went out and tested it, flow 167 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:26,959 water, tested the foam system just to make sure it works correctly. We will 168 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:31,320 get additional training once it gets back here and we're in service. 169 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:40,000 But all in all, it is great piece of machinery. This is 170 00:15:36,639 --> 00:15:45,920 the truck 2s is 20 plus years in this community. 171 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:49,360 Is there any other questions about it? >> Did they give you a time frame for uh 172 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:53,040 you know final delivery? Then >> with the holiday gun this weekend, we'll 173 00:15:51,600 --> 00:16:00,880 probably take delivery anywhere from 2 to 3 weeks. They drive it manually from 174 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:06,399 Wisconsin to Wixom at the Rant facility. Main reason they do that is just the 175 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:12,240 working see if better something hop there whether it's a line or anything 176 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:17,680 happens between okay it happened now not we get it fresh off the trailer 177 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:24,399 and go grab there so we're going to look at schedules after the holiday what 178 00:16:20,959 --> 00:16:31,279 works when we can get it up here once it is up here we have more work to do still 179 00:16:27,839 --> 00:16:36,880 because we have to model the tools again get everyone trained driving it running 180 00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:41,120 the pump running the foam system. The pump and foam training is included in 181 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:45,519 the price of the truck. So, it's just scheduling at that point, getting the 182 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:49,759 trainer here to teach us. We got a crash course on it. 183 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:53,680 I remember most of it, but I'll tell you right now, I don't remember all of it 184 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:58,959 cuz we had so much going on. Um, but yeah, so hopefully by the end of 185 00:16:56,079 --> 00:17:03,279 the month it's here in service, it's all about schedule and we're going to start 186 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,760 looking at dates for that. >> Thank you. 187 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:09,480 » Thank you. And yes, it's still, you know, it's still safer. 188 00:17:10,981 --> 00:17:15,039 [laughter] >> I second that. 189 00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:18,079 » If you go online, if you go online, we actually have pictures out there on the 190 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:21,360 web. They put they put numerous pictures. It's it's a pretty truck. It's 191 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:25,439 got it's got the lower is the the typical yellow, but it's got a gray 192 00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:30,080 upper. It's It's a good looking vehicle. >> It came out al fantastic. 193 00:17:27,439 --> 00:17:34,480 » I got to tell you one thing. Before I left in New York, I got a brand new 194 00:17:31,919 --> 00:17:37,480 truck and we were upset. It cost us $56,000. 195 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:46,880 » Well, I can tell you with this project, and I asked this camera yesterday, today 196 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:51,280 when we voted it, it was 959,000. >> Yeah. 197 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:54,799 » With changes we made, it was just over 953 or just below 198 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:58,000 » right around there. So, we saved a little money there. 199 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:04,400 » If we would have priced that truck out today, you add 15% right on top. No, 200 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:08,559 it's only getting worse. While we were out there, we did discuss our plans 201 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:14,799 forward. What's next? Because of the wait for trucks to see what we want to 202 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:17,919 do next. How quick, how soon, that is up to our 203 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:25,120 new truck officer, Lieutenant Ben Horton. So, this was my to-do and I'll 204 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:28,720 pass out along the way with the next. >> Good luck. 205 00:18:25,679 --> 00:18:32,320 » Great job. I've got a couple couple more quick 206 00:18:30,559 --> 00:18:36,880 items. >> Um, one of my lieutenants stepped down. 207 00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:41,440 That was Neil. He stepped down. So, I had we had a hold for lieutenant. So, we 208 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:47,600 we go ahead and we did post an interview and then Lieutenant Ben Horton is now in 209 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:51,520 that position for this year. I I went into the budget and got and got 210 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:55,760 approved. We actually added a third lieutenant and we subdivided our work 211 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:59,679 plus the fact we just need better coverage on our officers throughout the 212 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:04,400 day and night. So we did the same thing we posted it we interviewed and then 213 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:08,000 Mike Raven is now a lieutenant effective today. 214 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:12,559 So I now have two lieutenants in the system. So 215 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,880 » congratulations and thank you for all your service. 216 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,840 » Thank you. >> And then just one more item.

So, I got three potential new hires on top of the one I 221 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,360 brought in this year >> because it's going to take three people 222 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:39,280 to replace Greg. >> Oh, yeah. 223 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:43,280 Actually, four [laughter] in.
