Latest Changes

Updated 11-14-08


Over the last several months we have made some changes to the Freightliner Chassis Owners website.  The changes were intended to improve the readability of the website, to make information easier to find and to streamline some of the pages to speed up the time it takes the web pages to load.

While we think we have been successful in meeting our goals, we are not the best judges of whether we have met our goals.  The best judge is YOU.

We would appreciate your comments on the new look of the website.  Specifically we would like to get your feedback on how you feel the site can be improved, either in appearance or content.  Please be a specific as possible.
