UNEMPLOYMENT

Well got the new today Pace American is closed until futher notice.So caulk another good business up to our fearless leaders

Well,......

That sucks.

I really hate to hear that. Is the entire company closing, or just your facility?

Entire Company all 5 plants we are up for sale just left from our plant here boss said he might be calling some us back in the middle of next week if the sale is finallized this week.He did tell me I would be in the 1st bunch called back in but I have been hearing that for 2 weeks now.So I will draw unemployment for 2 more weeks before I start looking into something ealse.After almost 19 years in the cargo business I might look into something easle.Might even go back to school and get my cert and go to work at the local ford dealership.Maybe I can pick up some side jods and make ends meet not many jobs here making the money I made at Pace.I hate to go back to work for peanuts and have to live week to week told the wife to get a job housewife duty just ended.

Sorry to hear that Jim. I know you were concerned when you mentioned it the other night. Like I said then, The Good Lord has a plan for all that happens.

Man that really sucks Jim. I have had the same job for 18 years and I couldn't imagine trying to find another one. Especially from switching fields. Good luck my man.

Jim,

That really sucks balls! I guess my friend Jodie won't be buying a new custom Pace trailer from you guys. Thanks for answering all of his questions and good luck with the new job search.

I don't know if you're interested in moving, but Gulfstream will be hiring 1000 people over the next five years, most of which will probably be to support the new G650 program. They are pretty selective about the people they hire, but it won't hurt to try. Here's a link to the current jobs available in Savannah. http://jobs.gulfstream.com/findJobsByCityAndState.aspx?c=savannah&s=ga

Thank Doug that might be a option but hate to move my place here is payed for hate to have to start over again.

Jim

it'll work out,just hang on.

Schmitty, I agree the Good Lord alway's has a plan....I just wish sometimes he would let me in on it....

Sorry to hear that Jim....Here's hoping you find something quick!!!

We had the Fram oil filter plant close here in town, 300 folks out of work. Seems to be a lot of that going around. These folks will have a very hard time finding anything that pays close to what they were getting at Fram.

Jim if you need anything, let me know!


See ya tonight!

Frank

Jim sorry to hear about this hope things turn around and get back to normal for you, my wife went almost 2 years without a job, when finally i was able to get her a job at my place, it is hard out there!

What's the chance that you and a few employees could get together and build trailers under a new name. Heck after the time you spent there you should know all the suppliers and venders.

Some of us had already talked about it just waiting to see what happens only way they will sale our plant you have to buy all 5 plants.To start just one new trailer business get set up right where you can make money and offer the options that you make the money off of your looking $250,000 plus just to get started guess what the bank don't want to loan any business loans right now in that a mount.If I could get a loan to buy all 5 plants I would buy all of them hell I could do like the last company did in a year let have back if I could show a profit in the 1st year. it will take 3 years to see any big money being made.
