Texas truck dealers are bummed. Their situation is best summarized by this gem of a quote from Atascosa Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram General Sales Manager Nick Flores in Wards; “We kind of had to semi-train our salespeople to actually sell. It took us a good 35 to 40 days, but we did adapt.”
“In the good old days, companies in the oil-field business would buy a dozen heavy-duty trucks at a time,” as Flores was paraphrased in Wards. “Now, they might buy two.”
Don’t worry though, it sounds like the people hocking pickup trucks are going to be just fine.
“We look at it like a temporary thing,” San Antonio Mark Cross told Wards. “While we are waiting for a turnaround we can be concentrating on other areas. Good habits are formed in tough times.”
