    Waiting on Hino

    I looked into Churney's and wound up in TX at Rush Truck Center, for everything I ordered, they came in 20K cheaper and less interest on the loan. Depending on how much of a deposit you put down, it may be in your best interest to let it go and save a lot more money. Good Luck!!
