Re: Demolition of Pontiac East Assembly Plant

Not alot.. between the auto industry, mills, factories etc that left.. it hurt massive amounts of folks. I really like the "new trend" we have seen recently, of jobs coming back here.

I have local friends whom were laid off from Freightliner a few years ago. To watch these folks struggle to live the past few years has been horrible. They just called back the entire layoff and are adding jobs. Why? A few reasons; but one is a good sign.. a company ordered a fleet of trucks. From what we are told they demanded the trucks be made here in the states, and NOT in Mexico. I would love to know who that company is..
