BustedKnucklez Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I just wanted to know how busy you guys have been lately, especially here in the U.S.? Here in So Cal, it's been rather slow. Seems people aren't getting their trucks fixed. But I can't blame them when here in the LA area, i've seen diesel up to $5.05 per gallon. Whats it like in your neck of the woods?

Keith Browning Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 We slowed down earlier in the year but I never quite ran out of wok on any given day... well, close on a handful of days but not like some dealers around my area of NJ. I hear stories of shops having very little work with guys standing around by 10-o-clock! I had another problem with not having enough techs to get the work out the door so we deferred many to another dealer and probably pissed some off because their trucks took to long to get turned around. All in all, work is slowly picking back up and my truck team is running over 100% efficiency/productivity at the moment. I have another apprentice starting June 2nd when I return from vacation.

Tony302600 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 yea we've been slower then normal. When there is only 2 outta 3 of us we're busy, when all three of us are here, we're slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shlep Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Most of the guys at my shop are running out of work around 3:30 or so but I seem to have them lined up pretty well... only problem being it's stuff they don't want to fix or stuff they can't figure out /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/scratchhead.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Warman Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 We are as slow as sh!t... I've been home before seven most every night this month... They even let one of my diesel guys have a day off when he asked for it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
