Hey folks. Man is it slow. Last run I had was last Thurs from KY to Fredricktown OH. Finally came home Mon. after sitting in Columbus all weekend. Anyway, I hear some places are lowering their bids to compete. I hope they're lowering their QC bills to o/o's too. When it's this dead, they're odviously saving money per "character" on their txt's. Well hope it picks up soon. TTFN :-)

Load to southern Indiana yesterday. Load today up north to Canada.

**chefdennis** · 01-16-2009, 09:49 PM

loaded out of american axle plant 3 in detroit, dropped at american axle in three rivers mich,

from what the employees at AA plant 3 in detroit said, the company is closing plant 3, moving its lines to three rivers. A bunch of employees at plant 2 in detroit took the buyout and today was their last day. about 100-150 people from plant 2 are getting pink slips, the rest are moving to plant 2 and plant 6. Any new employees that WILL be hired will come in at $10 and hr. The people there now after a cut in wages at after the strike make between $18-20 depending on time with the company.

All of this is happening because after the strike they took a $10-12 cut on hourly wage. The company wants them to take a cut now so that they are all making $10 an hr, like the employees at the 3 rivers plant. They said no, so they are only getting 5-6 hrs a day and no 8 hrs pay, just the hrs worked...

I hauled tooling for a axle line out of there. The line will be up in 3 rivers in feb. Needless to say, no one in detroit was a happy camper, it took me 2 hrs and 40 mins to get loaded and the freight was sitting on the dock.......they just took their time....

This is NOT gospel, it came from 4 guys in the plant..

**chefdennis** · 01-17-2009, 06:05 PM
