Any brand log trucks

[Hank R]

It is a very very sad world that we are in Hard work does not cut it. Here in Canada one can not get good workers. Wednesday is wing night at the Pub so 3 or 4 guys do not come to work on Thursday, Thursday night a few other need practice drinking for Friday so they do not show up. Just what I hear from friend in the loop.

 

[Hallback]

Agreed, it's just what it is.
$6.05/gal for fuel. My bill for may was $117k & grossed only $240k.
Just doesn't work.

I'm just waiting/figuring the company I work will go bust. The overhead is just too much.

Sorry to hear that Hallback, you tried hard.

Hallback and TS, can relate as the current employer even if for only Five more working days is at odds on which road to take. He is considering 1) shutting down to Local only operation where can control to a limited extent what gets done and fuel cost controlled, 2) closing doors altogether should fuel hit $7 as that becomes the No Brainer cannot make enough to keep lights on and 3) selling out to someone that thinks they can do better then watching them collapse into that self destruction phase he can already see coming.

 

[Hallback]

I have run those same three scenarios thru my head also.

Sad to think HB, ALL trucking owners and Heavy Fuels user companies are too.

Accounts payable that includes wages verses accounts receivable, with operating costs
changing by the minute leaves no bark on the tree. Any false moves monetarily can be
a death nail.

Sorry to hear of your troubles Hallback. I hate to hear of company sales and the troubles it causes to all those impacted.

 

[Hallback]

Thanks guys, it will all shake out. Whether it's a good or bad shake is still to be determined!!

Autocars & Western Stars had one thing in common, the rails. Grade 10 or better. Obvious when
drilling for attachments. One reason Stars were a common log truck.

 

[Hallback]

Very true!!
I knew a few guys that would go to Canada to buy them before they had a market share down here.

Bob told me when I did the story about him for Wheels of Time that each Autocar had over 600,000 miles with out any suspension or frame problems.

Were Autocar and Western Stars part of the White family of trucks at one time?
