Wouldn’t be good if we were to lose Manning.

This is a bummer. The few Manning’s I’ve seen have been amazing quality.

That makes sense why they never returned emails.

Makes sense BECAUSE they never returned phone calls, or delivered on time,
Not sure how some of these places stay in business with such aweful customer service.
That being said the quality was good .

Had them build me a few trailers over the years without an issue the last one about three years ago, great trailer but almost had a nervous break down by the time they finished building the trailer , I told myself the quality of the trailer is not worth the aggravation, That's too bad

Just because you have a great product; doesn’t mean you can run a good business.


Shark Tank taught the young folks that.

However, Apache, Pantera, PowerPlay, and others taught the rest of us.

I’ve heard from a few people their customer service is absolute dog sh*t and their quality hasn’t been up to par lately either.

They built 3 Aluminum’s for me. Beefy, massive frames, torsion axles, smooth city going down the highway.

Mom and Pop, getting older, Son Matt, running the show, trying to do job of 3 people. Facility not the best, used to be in the stix, now surrounded by brew pubs, more upscale stuff.

One of you hot-shots should buy them out. Find a good building, acquire their knowledge, data base, suppliers, etc. Try to find some quality fabricators, welders.

The orders will come!
