Chairman & CEO W. Marvin Rush, however, noted that sales were up 32% over the second quarter of 2003.
"We are optimistic about the future, due to the unmistakable upturn in the overall economy," he said. "Historically, an accelerating economy has created increased demand for heavy-duty trucks and we believe that this cycle will be no different."
