Heard today that the company has been sold.
Don Bentz is rumored to be staying.
Jones will still have to be involved in any Cascadias going through.

Curious if this info is correct.

Anybody else hearing stuff ?

Met with Don at the Petro in Ontario just a couple of weeks ago. His agreement on Cascadia dry boxes and Stoops ends in July. Stoops will continue to be the only one offering the reefer truck Cascadias. He (Bentz) will also be able to install his sleepers on other makes then.....including Volvo's.

Not sure if I should relay what he was out there for, other than to say there's a need for more dealers for the expedite market.

No idea about a sale, but I'd bet not.

I saw quite a few Bentz units sitting @ Stoops in New Haven, my perception is that it's a popular off the shelf unit. Maybe I'll have a chance to ask Jonesy himself, picking up our truck 1/2/14 after getting a PM service there.

I know Jonesy doesn't care for social media like EO because He's been slammed on Here before from a disgruntled driver who didn't tell both sides of the story.

My dealings have been good with the guy ( as a driver). Most complain about no return phone calls, it seems email works well for His situation.

Back to the point, I'll ask Him about the current Bolt / Bentz state of business. I do know I love operating our new Cascadia.
