The March 2017 issue of DIESELtalk is available for download.
In this packed 44-page issue, we have interviewed all the major OEM truck distributors about their goals and strategies for 2017, and we have a comprehensive review of the 2017 transport and heavy equipment expo (THE Expo) at Mystery Creek.
