got to move about 15 Raptors Wednesday night.. was fun.

believe they are on 4 10's mon-thur..

be ready to work..

from what I've heard DTP needs about 100 more people to cover those that are leaving to other plants..

I was in a group that started at DTP on the 6th.. groups came in on the 13th at DTP and Flatrock.. there is another coming to DTP on the 20th, not sure about more to Flatrock..

I started @ DTP on Monday and we're on loan/temporary.

tyvm!

just got the call that I was picked up at DTP and to report Monday Morn..

oh yea.. guess Im losing track of time while on ILO..

anything going on..

thats what my father-in-law told me yesterday.. I believe all downtime after July is cancelled/hold.

Last thing I heard coming from ISA is 3rd shift cut is on hold till around Dec.. No one has mentioned 4-10's..

according to my call last night at ISA two sign up sheets.. one for Saline/Sheldon and the other DTP/Flatrock.. one will be open till th 18th and the other through the 23rd.

the stats I provided where to show the track difference between the two.. they are not the same.. "A track that's 7 inches wider than a stock F-150 is also part of the Raptor's package. It gives the Raptor a low, wide stance, which requires wider flared fenders front and rear, giving the truck a Coke-bottle shape. It's so wide, in fact, that the Raptor requires the federally mandated marker lights you usually see perched atop dually tow trucks. For the Raptor, the front lights are incorporated into the grille, making for a cleaner appearance and unique light signature at night."

Raptor Wheelbase (in.): 133.1 Length (in.): 222.1 Width (in.): 86.6 Height (in.): 78.4 Track (in.): 73.6 Standard ext cab Wheelbase 144.5 Length 231.7 Width 78.9 Height 71.5 track 67.0

Pulled into my local Home Depot and parked in front of a Raptor.. Helped the nice woman load up some bags, chatted with her a bit and took some pictures.. This Raptor is on the low end of options but was still pretty nice, sounded good when she drove away. Lucky her gets a SHO to drive around next week. one thing of note there are LED's in the grill, bumpers.. when I pulled up the front LED's were orange, you can see them in the first shot (white inserts in the upper portion of the grill).

I'll be beyond pissed If we are not allowed to sign..
