If you think about the business, it's got to be a tough one. Very small market for fuel chassis, no? What are there, maybe 40 TF and FC teams? Each needs maybe two or three chassis, so your total market is something around 100 total. And they last for a couple years.
Then, there are two people really in the game, now, Brad Hadman and Murf McKinney. If you split the market, you're looking at making maybe 25 a year? One every two weeks? Tough to make a living at that. So you keep a small operation, lean and low dollar.
Then along comes a major rule change and everyone needs a new chassis or two. And they need them, like yesterday. Suddenly your little operation has to crank out 50 of them in a few weeks. But you can't just bang them out -- people's lives depend on them. So, you still have to take your time.
What a tough way to make a living. Gotta give them a lot of credit.
