Great Dane Trailers said it will deliver 1,776 P-Series freight vans to Millis Transfer Inc. over the next five years.

In commemoration of Independence Day, Great Dane announced the new partnership between its authorized dealer, Trudell Trailers of Milwaukee, Wis. and Millis Transfer Inc. of Black River Falls, Wis.
The venture provides for the production and delivery of 1,776 trailers over the next 60 months. This particular quantity of trailers and a special patriotic graphic were specifically chosen by Millis Transfer to symbolize the company’s support for American ideals and the spirit of the country at a turbulent point for the nation, according to Millis.
Millis Transfer has been in the trucking industry for more than 50 years and has been privately held and family-owned for four generations. Primarily leveraged in the beverage and bottle industry, Millis currently owns 2,100 trailers, the majority of which are Great Danes.
The Millis order will deliver more than 25 trailers per month throughout the length of agreement and consists exclusively of P-Series dry freight vans. "The Great Dane P-Series is perfect for us because we need the interior cube for hauling glass bottles and the sound structure for carrying 50,000 pounds of beverages per load," said David Millis, president of Millis Transfer Inc.
In addition to the traditional red, white and blue Millis Transfer marks, all of the trailers in the order will receive a distinctive red, white, and blue logo inspired by the American flag. "We decided to add the patriotic graphics to show our company’s support for the nation during a difficult time," said Millis.
The first of these trailers are already in service.
