We stopped at a flyingJ at the 78 MM on I80 East in PA.After fueling we parked the rig and a transporter pulled in next to us. She was delivering a "New Vision" TT to N.J. I of course had to ask her many questions. Her company had over 50 drivers the first of the year...They now have 6. Hundreds are laid off in the Elkhart area. Then Rv industry is in the dumps. Most of the rv's are being transported to Canada as the strength of the CA Dollar make it advantages. Plants had been working on already placed orders and dealer inventory but that dried up and they even had rv's called back while in transport. It It was doom and gloom..it even depressed Helen and myself.
"Elkhart unemployment rate fifth highest in state, led by struggling RV industry"" This headline was from April 08.Do a Google to to see what is really going on.
