A truck ordered by the Shelby County Commissioners for the highway department was stolen while being delivered.

Shelby County Commissioner Chris Ross.

Ross says even if the dealer is able to quickly find a new truck chassis to ship it may not be in time to have the other pieces installed.

The truck was ordered nearly a year ago.  A recent call for bids for a tri-axle truck  resulted in no bids and companies explaining that it may be 2024 or '25 before they could get Shelby County a tri-axle.

The county's effort at buying a tractor and mower has been more of the normal variety.
