Medtec has been in trouble since being bought out by Pierce/ Oshkosh.

They took a ton of tax incentives from florida to move it's manufacturing operations from Michigan & Indiana, then basically dropped the ball on sales..

We had been Medtec users for 15 years prior to Pierce ownership. /When we went to buy a new truck in 2009, the pierce dealer said: "If you only want one truck, I guess we could send you some specs.

When asked for a demo to be brought for us to view. They could only find a 3 yr old truck that was nowhere near what we were looking to buy.

We didn't buy from them.

Firetruck salesmen trying to sell ambulances doesn't work.
