Rob Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I just read all the comments and this was in there:The smoking gun????Alright, now you guys and gals know I'm about as fond of Volvo and their ownership of Mack Trucks as most of us on this board but I do not believe this "comment" was produced, or written by Mr. Johannson for a minute. It would not be professional, (in the least) to publicly release information such as this, and would certainly be a "career killer" in any profession, (let alone a CEO of a worldwide corporation), if revealed publicly. No matter how disliked a person, or corporation may be, the reprecussions of such a move would follow negatively.Until proven differently to me, those comments are considered fabrications to further someones personal agenda. I would like to think the comments have merit, but again a CEO of a worldwide corporation, (even an ex CEO) would not make those type of comments in my beliefs. To publically admit that any manufacturer is unable to build a truck that will last as long as an existing design would be foolish.I'm quite sure the attorneys would love to prosecute this one if true.Sure don't mean to step on anyone's toes here. These are my beliefs and I'm not asking anyone to follow but rather, "follow your own".Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Mack 3P Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Mack delays production shiftSome things to point out through the propaganda.-The Mack spokesman is a Volvo employee located in Greensboro. -Most people here feel the delay is over the union contract. Volvo is trying to take things away from the Union and using the move as a bargaining chip. The plant has not even started tooling up for the highway truck.-The comment about half the people at WHQ moving is not totally true. Most people including myself say they are going to Greensboro so Volvo does not lay us off early. The staff at WHQ is mainly administrative. All engineering on Mack trucks is done at the Test Center.

I,m on the phone to Allentown talking to various Mack guys and gals for about 1 to 2 hours aday. Mostly warranty and engineering people . I have only found 2 that are "making the move". Even the most of the Mack One Call guys are leaving. Who is Mack gonna get to fill thoes shoes? A year form now when I call Mack for help on an ASET problem I'll get a Volvo guy who dosent know anything about a ASET. Dosent look good .
