Oct. 3, 2012

Hino Trucks has reached an agreement with Morgan Corp. that will result in a 21-day turnaround for dry freight van body trucks on all in-stock vehicles, Hino said.

The partnership will provide national pricing for 24 ft. to 26 ft. van bodies shipped from one of Morgan’s four regional manufacturing facilities. The Quick Turn stock program will serve 46 states (excluding Hawaii, Alaska, California and Nevada).

“Morgan’s nationwide presence offers our customers unmatched service and support. Morgan has been a first-rate supplier to Hino Trucks over the last number of years, and prides itself on industry-leading innovation, quality and delivery. We look forward to expanding our body program offerings with Morgan while maintaining the high level of quality and satisfaction that Hino customers have come to expect,” said Glenn Ellis, vice president of marketing for Hino Trucks.

Morgan has facilities in Morgantown PA, Rydal GA, Corsicana, TX, and Lakeland, FL.

“This new program is designed to have a 21-day turnaround from chassis or order receipt on stocked trucks,” said Chris Johnson, national account manager for Morgan. “In today’s increasing economic climate, Morgan is committed to helping Hino customers cut their wait time, provide competitive pricing and ensure the best product on the road.”

Morgan produces Class 3-7 dry freight van and refrigerated truck bodies as well as custom building of curtainsiders, furniture and moving van bodies, portable storage units, parcel van bodies and stake/platform truck bodies.
