We've been there for the past 50 years, and look forward to the next 50." According to Hubbard, recent customer surveys reinforce PFC's commitment to customer service. "On a scale of 1 to 10, our customers gave us, on average, a 9 in all the key metrics of customer service and loan programs. We're mirroring the First Class image inherent in a Peterbilt truck and we thank our cus- tomers for the opportunity to earn their business."
