A good beginning is half the battle.

In 1996, the US freight market was in the ascendant, and a large number of goods waiting to be transported and a large number of unstructured freight companies flooded the market and stimulated the market.

In the United States, drivers have a strong say in the choice of vehicles. Eddy said: "Everyone has a good impression on Cummins products. I like Cummins' fuel economy. Drivers like Cummins products for smooth driving. They think this engine will make driving easier."
