• Gaffney, SC (50 miles from Charlotte, NC)
• 74 acre site• ISO 9001 Certified• 283,000 square feet for production• Over 343,550 square for completed chassis parking• All chassis are built on a order by order process, no stock chassis are built for stand by.

• Let me introduce you to FCCC and how we build our chassis.
Daimler TrucksDepartment 5
• As you can see every chassis goes thru the roll test before it can be parked for shipping.
• Roll test checks:
• Before a chassis is rolled all fluid levels are checked.
• All Lights are hooked up and checked.
• All dash functions are checked at Roll Test
• Cruise
• Engine brake
• Transmission down shift
• Speedo and Tach
• Air pressure gauges
• All ABS functions are checked
• Then the chassis are ran 20 minutes to check performance and to make sure there are no issues when the Body Builder gets our chassis.

What some Dealers may not know.
Who responsibility is it to keep the chassis batteries charged when the Coach has been built?
What if the steering wheel is off center?
Who installs the Cab Harness?
When does the Warranty Start?
When does Service start?
When a Chassis is sold and it has past a Service Interval who tells the customer a Service is needed?
Can you as dealers get engine codes and transmission codes?
