Can you recommend dealers that have new trucks available to buy now?

    Try looking for a new truck in the Portland area. That's the freightliner corporate headquarters along with Western Star.
    A bunch of big truck carriers over there also that use freightliner.
    Also try the Seattle area.
     
    TruckRunner Thanks this.

    I'll tell you what, seeing all this back logged inventory, etc, makes me feel pretty good about the timing and price I got on my new truck in December 2015 LOL. I'm thinking more & more about milking mine for all it's got, instead of flipping it in a cpl of years.

    John Deere has the same backlog. Dealer did not have model I wanted, said April delivery from JD. Other dealers wont do transfers due to long backlog.
    Might need to buy some stock in these companies.
