Rescue Squad Update

Hi All-

CMF reached out this morning. The squad is done with the exception of tires being swapped out on the rear axle. Those are ordered and will be in tomorrow. Once they are on they'll make the call to switch back into the unit, so I would expect that will fall on A shift unless something else changes. 

Two additional notes: 
  • When we took delivery of the unit, fleet advised that over time the rear tires needed to be switched over to mud/snow tires (what's on the rear of the truck). So, the forward tandem axle will be switched over and the current tread style will remain on the rear until they are worn out and then those will be switched over. 
  • The fuel ring will not work when the unit gets back. They need to order a different style ring for that vehicle and Patriot has to finish the wiring because CMF doesn't have the wire or needed connectors. This will be handled when the winch fairlead is handled. 

Thanks,
