Re:The axe missed me 3 Years ago  
They got me in october, I'm a heavy equipment operator and you can't even buy a construction around here. I've actually gone back to school
to get some skills to get back in the job market hopefully.

Hang in there people. Times are tough but the American spirit is tougher. I just ordered a new battery and K&N Air filter. Could have bought cheaper foreign stuff, but bought American instead.

Tighedog, glad they missed you. I've been on temp layoff for the last 3 or 4 weeks. We've got work bid, but nobody's turning loose of p.o.#'s. Got plenty of time to work on the R*, but no extra cash to buy much. Did get a super buy on ebay on a backrest pad. Gonna' fab up a driver backrest while I've got time off.

Re:The axe missed me 3 Years ago  
my company so far hasnt laid anyone off but they did shift some people around. They put them on a 4 on and 4 off schedule after they had been working 6 days a week. Luckily I stayed the same at the 6 days but as has been said, the bad times might be coming. I sure hope not, getting ready to walk into a chevy dealership in the morning and drive out with an 09 silverado(hopefully). Just hope I still have a job a year from now to pay back the 34,000(plus the financing ) Good luck guys.

I would like to see you get back to work since we make the equipment you most likely operate. It was about October when our company started austerity measures. We never figured it would get this bad. For the rest of us still working we've got wage freezes, no bonus' (even if they were any) extra work, more hrs, no OT, and intermittant plant shutdowns to anticipate this year.
