The orders closely match the six-month average of 13,000 units... “August net orders for Class 8 vehicles came in about where we expected, very similar to July numbers,” Eric Starks, FTR president, said. “We didn't see any particular reason that they would be substantially different, and we believe for the balance of the year orders will continue to be received at comparable levels"...
