  3. LOWER MACUNGIE TWP., Pa. - A state lawmaker representing part of the Lehigh Valley says one of the largest employers in the region plans to make a significant reduction in its workforce. State Representative Josh Siegel (D - 22nd District) released a statement Thursday after receiving word that Mack Trucks is laying off between 250 and 350 workers at its Lower Macungie Township facility. Siegel called it "a devastating blow to Lehigh Valley workers," saying, "these 350 workers are not just numbers — they are parents, neighbors, veterans and skilled tradespeople who built America’s backbone. And they deserve better." https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/lehighvalley/lehigh-county/mack-trucks-expected-to-lay-off-hundreds-at-lower-macungie-plant/article_106d6029-fca8-4189-9f3d-97ebee2068a7.html?fbclid=IwY2xjawJvymlleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHjz1D45sLHJEqfCn23F9j0RVhjRknH7iM-jzTOoZqpi4MusmKf7Zhdkm-Wq7_aem_5oj5Rn_6EWccTc3OIrb_Ow

  6. How could anyone think this kind of crap is desirable? If I spent 5 minutes with any of these people I'd want to punch them. They look like nothing but trashy useless eaters
  7. I wouldn't put too much faith in a 3rd party inspection unless it was someone I knew personally and was confident about their skills.

  9. They are but they are only making DC64 model day cabs with x12 and Allison automatics. I was taking to a rep at the plant yesterday. Someone is supposed to call me back that can tell me more. They are specializing in built to order trucks, but he says they are just starting to have inventory on the ground
  10. Yeah I was thinking maybe like an Allison 6000 Series https://allisontransmission.bynder.com/m/348dc917b2c1df66/original/Vocational-Model-Guide.pdf
  11. Sam Walton believed running a successful business boils down to 10 simple rules 1. Commit to your business. Believe in it more than anybody else. If you love your work, you'll be out there every day trying to do it the best you possibly can, and pretty soon everybody around will catch the passion from you — like a fever. 2. Share your profits with all your associates, and treat them as partners. In turn, they will treat you as a partner, and together you will all perform beyond your wildest expectations. 3. Motivate your partners. Money and ownership alone aren't enough. Set high goals, encourage competition, and then keep score. Don't become too predictable. 4. Communicate everything you possibly can to your partners. The more they know, the more they'll understand. The more they understand, the more they'll care. Once they care, there's no stopping them. 5. Appreciate everything your associates do for the business. Nothing else can quite substitute for a few well-chosen, well-timed, sincere words of praise. They're absolutely free — and worth a fortune. 6. Celebrate your success. Don't take yourself so seriously. Loosen up, and everybody around you will loosen up. Have fun. Show enthusiasm — always. All of this is more important, and more fun, than you think, and it really fools competition. 7. Listen to everyone in your company. And figure out ways to get them talking. To push responsibility down in your organization, and to force good ideas to bubble up within it, you must listen to what your associates are trying to tell you. 8. Exceed your customers’ expectations. Give them what they want — and a little more. Make good on all your mistakes, and don't make excuses — apologize. Stand behind everything you do. 9. Control your expenses better than your competition. This is where you can always find the competitive advantage. You can make a lot of different mistakes and still recover if you run an efficient operation. Or you can be brilliant and still go out of business if you're too inefficient. 10. Swim upstream. Go the other way. Ignore the conventional wisdom. If everybody else is doing it one way, there's a good chance you can find your niche by going in exactly the opposite direction. You can read more about Sam's business rules in his book, Sam Walton, Made in America: My Story.
  12. Maybe Walmart/Sam's is going back to Sam's way of thinking
  13. In school they thought us he was just a screaming madman. Nothing he said was valid. And believe me I am proud of my father and my uncles who fought in WW2
  14. What do you guys think? Winner? Flash in the pan? Same shit in a different baggie? https://www.autocartruck.com/

  16. The brass syncro rings get in the way. You can do away with them and get faster shifting. In this diagram they are called "blocker rings" https://tremec-blog.com/manual-transmission-synchronizers-101/
