4. Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:

	December 31,
	2024		2023
Finished goods	$	67,897	$	79,509
Work-in-process		13,337		14,384
Truck chassis inventory		10,146		1,929
Raw material and supplies		45,654		44,568
	$	137,034	$	140,390

The inventories in the table above do not include truck chassis inventory financed through a floor plan financing agreement as discussed in Note 8.  The Company takes title to truck chassis upon receipt of the inventory through its floor plan agreement and performs upfitting service installations to the truck chassis inventory during the installation period.  The floor plan obligation is then assumed by the dealer customer upon delivery.  At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $2,612 and $2,217 of chassis inventory and related floor plan financing obligation, respectively.  The Company recognizes revenue associated with upfitting and service installations net of the truck chassis.

Unlike the floor plan agreement, the Company does not record inventory related to truck chassis acquired through the bailment pool agreement as these truck chassis are held on consignment. Like the revenue recognized on floor plan arrangement, revenue recognized for upfitting services on chassis acquired through the bailment agreement, are also recognized net of the truck chassis.
