slowilly Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 This must be a WELL kept secret because I have been trying to find out how much senority it took to get the Arizona HVC bids !!!!! last spot was taken with mid '89 sen...i figure if Ford in Indy stays open until 2010((Maybe longer?)) or so, i may be able to get into a HVC when Indy closes, i bid on Phoinex but my 1-4-93 was not close...

Hvcpicker Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 have you heard of any re-labeling projects in yours or any other hvc's? They are re-labeling our ford parts and giving them motorcraft labels?????? Say it is a hvc wide program to sell to pep boys and murrays????? Something smells fishy Any info on this would be great. Think this could be problem for hvc's in long run???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think this could be problem for hvc's in long run???? Well I don't know where you from ,but we also started relabeling parts. I also remember that before we open this new way of bus. they took motorcraft out of stores. the other day i was at walmart and I saw motorcraft back up. Whats with this. Are they giving up on parts and maybe dumpping parts in all. anybody out there knows something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they giving up on parts and maybe dumpping parts in all. anybody out there knows something. Are you from a Motorcraft designated HVC? I seriously doubt that you guys are going to ship out to Pep Boys, Murray's or the best one Walmart . Walmart probably gets their parts from taiwan, check the spelling on the package, most likely it says MOTOCRAFT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvcpicker Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 We arent shipping to pep and murrays , wherever the parts go will be. There are warehouses that are not ours (ford) that ship directly to those stores after recieving the parts from detroit. Cut out the middle man! Our plant manager said " we are looking to take some of the retail market " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our plant manager said " we are looking to take some of the retail market " Taking some of the retail market sound good but in the other side you might be sticking it to the dealers Because the $ will be lower. And then why buy from them when you could buy from the retail market at a lower $ and make more money. Then the dealer don't have to buy from hvc. Why also some managers don't know anything about this plan. The answer from them is to do more with less . This is the new way for hvc.

Lostinindy Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Anybody hear about a layoff in Evansville???? 7 people?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAP SPARKIE Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Were being forced to take 4 transfers in Phoenix. They report June 2nd. We dont have the volume to support what were working with now let alone having 4 new people. Glad they got placed but we'll probably have to lay some people off once they get trained. Our volume is down also. We had 2200 total lines this past friday. As far as blue to red, its nothing new but the amount of parts going from blue to red is abnormal. The parts transfers are getting out of hand also. How are things going up there Hendew? Anybody hear about a layoff in Evansville????7 people??
