Maryland defies easy description as a fleet market. Compressed into 12,407 square miles, Maryland spans five distinct physiographic regions — from the DC suburban megachurch corridors of Montgomery and Prince George's counties to the Eastern Shore's rural waterman communities and Western Maryland's Appalachian mountain churches. Carpenter Bus Sales routes direct delivery to all 23 Maryland counties and Baltimore City.
