I am wondering if most are sleeved in such...

    Waiting on Hino

    Dark, I went to Churney's and they came in with a price 20K higher than Rush Trucking did. I therefore went to Rush. And am happy. I understand a smaller dealer cannot get the incentives that very large dealerships can. I understand once you get the Hino, there is a nationwide network that...

    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!!
