Yes, the countrymotorsinc.com folks were at PRI and they were very impressive. The units I saw are made by NRC for Country Motors and were loaded with options. I was more interesed in specing one with only the options I wanted and needed. Also, the 505 Auto was not what I wanted in the Freightliner. The Meritor Freedom transmission (fully automatic with no clutch pedal) with the Mercedes 450 was better for me. I'm told the Mercedes has advantages of better meeting current and future emmissions as well as significantly lower weight. However, that's mainly personal preference in that many people like the Detroit Diesel.
The people at Country Motors were extremely knowlegeable and responsive in the few interations I had with them.
