with any automotive company or truck company it is a fact of life, btdt anyway the industry also over predicts and has for years so thinking they would make way more product than the industry needs. (that is huge part of what is going on)

I grew up in Salisbury and the plant in Rowan County has been through this cycle quite a bit over the last 2 decades.....actually there have been past layoffs that were much much deeper then this round. Once orders pick back up, production workers will be called back.
