Dear Friends:
We recognize there is a constantly changing situation around the world COVID-19. This is an unprecedented time for everyone — a time that, for many, is filled with uncertainty. Our thoughts go out to each and every one of you. There is still much unknown, but we are working with the best information available to guide our decision-making.
As you know, there are currently “shelter in place” mandates for many states at this time. According to our NAICS code, we are able to operate as an essential transportation business. We make products which are utilized commercially and are needed for the safe transportation of critical services and cargo. Therefore, our locations in California, Indiana, Oregon and Washington will remain open. We are working with our dedicated dealer network across the country to ensure that when you’re ready to once again get outside and hit the road, we’ve got you covered.
Of course, our first and foremost concern is for the health and safety of our Team Members. While we are open, we recognize we will be operating at modified levels until the “shelter in place” mandates are lifted. In addition, we are adhering to all guidelines and recommendations from the CDC and health services organizations in order to keep our employees safe and healthy.
We are with you during this time of uncertainty. We are all concerned with the spread of the Coronavirus and its potential impact on our health, families and businesses, and we are continuing to adapt quickly and communicate as this situation evolves. When it’s time, we will be ready to help you make the most of every opportunity.
Please be safe and stay healthy.
John Aleva, President
