Rumor at LAP that we may be off again next week. Exactly why are we laid off this week? I heard bits and pieces, but not totally clear about it. Anybody else hearing anything?

I would guess the order bank being so low as well as the dealers can't sell the trucks they have might have something to do with it. No matter what the media says, the economy hasn't gotten better.

Orders are not down...we have a new unit about to hit the dealers...until all the dealers in the U.S. are stocked with them...we will be working. We should have at least 4 months of orders right now.

I was told that the order bank for P's and U's is less than 30,000, I consider that low. I also heard that the diesel motor production is way behind due to problems. I hope to be working OT myself in the months to come. I still don't believe the economy has recovered at all.

I believe they don't have a clue...once we can prove we have produced a diesel that beats every other diesel ever made (which is what they are saying), everyone will be getting one. We are in great shape. And Obama is gonna create millions of jobs over the next 12 months...nothing but good times are ahead in America.

As you know by know, we are off this week. Ford is actually doing the right thing by being off this week. Their is a bunch of little things that need to be fixed or adjusted before we run the truck, and instead of running them a fixing everything in the yard, they decided to take another week to fix most of them. Everyone realizes that this launch needs to be almost perfect, I would say perfect but nothing is perfect, for Ford to keep going in the right direction. They are looking at this truck and the Taurus to carry Ford this year in profits. this was eskridge's reply to me asking why we were off this week.
