"is laying off 700 employees in February due to slow sales"
I am not doubting your facts but I sure find it hard to believe how some companies are in this situation.
Where I work we buy 100% International trucks. It makes for easy parts keeping and mechanic training when you have all the same thing. Heck we have had a truck at the local dealer for warranty work and were told they could not find the correct part anywhere. No International dealer in the U.S. had the part and it was on back order. It would be months for our truck to get fixed. We had 2 of these parts in stock in our company system so we sold 1 back to International to get our truck fixed.
With all of that we placed a order for new trucks last year. It was double our normal order for a year as we have been losing drivers due to use of older trucks. We were told they could not provide 100% of our order. They did not have the capacity to produce that many trucks in one year. We were forced to buy some Volvo's and KW's just to fill our needs.
And now I hear truck manufactures are laying off. HUMMMMMMMMMM!!!!! Makes one wonder what the real story is.
