And with the stop sale going on and no replacement relays yet, they continue to lose. The lot at my local dealer had 3 trucks in it 6 months ago, and now there are over 75 trucks sitting there collecting dust waiting on the relays before they can sell them. They are running out of room ... but they will come out ahead eventually.
I am sure the rail cars are huge problem given the rail issues we continue to have in this country. Not for car shortages, but manpower shortages. I have a friend who works for UP, and employees are bailing in droves. Crappy pay, no benefits, no paid time off, and the list goes on. Last year we lucked out and 3 different strikes were everted, and they are trying to keep the cars moving, but with far less qualified personnel. It's ridiculous and all boils down to corporate greed.
Okay, off of my soap box - where the heck is my truck?
