Toyota recall

[x06col]

Has anyone experienced a noticeable increase in business as a result of the recall?? Or, are they orchestrating truck load and LTL to take care of the moves?

I was wonderin the same thing after i read this article:

CTS Corp. Is in Elkhart Ind.

Supplier CTS Corp. is also working with the Japanese company to develop a fix for millions of Toyota vehicles currently on the road.

Well i guess the "up-tick" in freight might happen soon enough, if the dealers are getting parts Thrus and Fri, the plants should see shipment in a few days after that:

AP Sources: Toyota gas pedal fix approved by feds; dealers could get parts Thursday or Friday.

Why would there be an uptick over this? Wouldn't it just go back to normal then? Man we been so busy I couldn't take an uptick...even Chef has been runnin his butt off....

 

[chefdennis]

yea any "up-tick" would be short lived, but there would be some more shipments for a short period ,,,,at least i would think...unless as the Col , it couls all be truckload and ltl...but yea i have been real busy since goin back in service after the holidays.....but no complaints at all....

I would think the opposite would occur...as Toyota shut or slowed production to wait for the replacement parts..
that the other suppliers that WERE behind would get a bit of a chance to catch up and there'd be a lull in Toyota expedite.
For awhile at least...

Last night I delivered a load of "PEDAL ASSBLY ACCEL LHD" to TMMI - and every one of the plastic totes had special bright orange tags taped to them, indicating they were a newly revised QC'd part.

They went directly into the plant, and not to the logistics warehouse where I've always delivered before.

Expect them to have this handled in short order - they are on it like dogs on a bone.
