Pierce Manufacturing launches online stock truck program portal

Pierce Manufacturing has announced the launch of an online portal so fire departments have easy access to the Pierce® and Contender® fire apparatus stock truck program offerings. Fire departments can visit the Pierce Manufacturing Web site at www.piercemfg.com/StockTrucks.html to view Pierce and Contender stock fire trucks available for sale.

“Fire departments often experience an emergency situation for a quick turnaround fire apparatus purchase to replace existing equipment. We want them to know that Pierce has apparatus available for them to purchase today,” said Wilson Jones, Pierce Manufacturing president. “The Pierce online stock truck program portal was created to meet the immediate needs of fire departments, and allow them easy viewing of available apparatus.”

The new Pierce Web page will serve as an online catalog where customers can view photos, drawings and descriptions of stock trucks in the program. It includes fire apparatus that are currently in production and available for customizing, as well as prebuilt fire apparatus ready for immediate purchase.
