Is that all at once, or the sum of a series of monthly/quarterly orders?

And if its multiple orders, is it say a single batch of F150s one month, F350s the next, and then 550s after that or are typically a mixed bag each time?

I'm asking because the way I picture it, different trucks types aught to wear out at different rates. So if half tons need to be replaced every year, while class 5 trucks are good for 3 (I have no idea ... just throwing out some numbers), there isn't too much of a reason to keep them all the same brand.

But I guess if a company is big enough (that construction company would seem to qualify), there will almost always be a need for a variety of trucks.
