Yea, I saw that, thinking to myself, "all those low freight rate *hores that were hauling G.M. freight are going to go after what good paying freight there is, and destroy that as well."....
YES they think they have sucked the well dry here in North America and now they are going to China to suck on their well
Kind of has me wondering if I should even come back into the game. I might just change gears and start my own cleaning company lol. I can get three once a week 5-6 hour a day cleaning gigs and take home 2k after expense. Just about what some might take home after expenses from driving all month. I used to have to dispatch 80 hours a week with my own company to clear 2500 a month. Cleaning buildings is much less stressful. But I still miss the driving. I have a nice Transit picket out for 23k. Penske has a plan for new start ups without any proof of income to put 15 percent down and you can qualify with a credit score above 650. I might take another year to keep an eye on how the GM closings fare. On another note, won't there be more GM freight being shipped to Mexico from this deal? That could be a good thing for some I guess.
You know, the President is very upset about GM! How come I haven't seen any of his loyal faithful setting their Buicks on fire?

have you noticed the price of a Buick lately?? ..Cheaper to set fire to a cruze
Isn’t GM owned by the union
I just don’t understand the logic.
If a car isn’t selling, how is making the same car in China or Mexico going to help it sell?
or
If GM is designing new vehicles, how is it the employees fault that the previous design didn’t sell?
It all just screams, “We don’t want to pay for American labor.”

Cars made in Other countries don't have to be made to our standard (laws) so they are OK to be marked in other ( non- European) countries. In many countries, for instance, things like air bags, ABS, etc are not furnished
As far as making other models in our plants, we/you deliver to these plants. They are old and outdated and falling apart. When you look at BMW, Honda, Mercedes, Kia all have modern environmental correct facilities.

Its more than just plant workers affected...
If Detroit-Hamtramck plant closes, autoworkers won't be the only ones hurting

Yup Rags, I remember (from somewhere) that when a large factory closes it takes dozens of small business with it. New cars won't be bought. The old appliances won't be replaced. The cold cuts won't be bought to make the lunch. Oh yeah, and the expeditors will have fewer loads
