#11 Meeting was about orders dropping dramatically for product line. Sounds like layoff time.

Walmart has turned to the railroad to ship product rather than tractor trailers. I understand rail cars labeled Walmart.

Two and one half hour wait to refuel tankers. Diesel very difficult to secure for delivery. Shortage of drivers also. Gray hair time for dispatchers.

#15 OH, Railroaders went back to work but no contract. No where near agreement. TW I wanted to keep the name quiet but it was American wood-mart.

#16 Thanks, Dale. You know I don’t know enough not to ask awkward questions, for which I apologize afterward and in advance. In future just say something about not being comfortable mentioning the name, and I should get the hint not to ask.
