New Truck Blues

The Williams County Engineer’s Office is looking to buy a new or good used truck, and finding it’s not easy to find one these days. County Engineer Todd Roth told county commissioners Thursday that a 2006 truck used by the sanitary sewer crew has reached the end of its life.

All new vehicles are built with a plethora of microchips on board to control everything from window motors to navigation systems and the lack of new vehicles has tightened the market on good used vehicles
