Pretty much all the manufacturers flooded their lots in the fall and over the winter with units just waiting to be shipped out while working 40 hour weeks. Now the lots are full, the dealers are taking some to fill empty spaces with discount agreements from the manufacturers and sales in a lot of the US are slow on the uptick due to a slow warmup from winter. So, there’s most likely why the layoff.
I hauled discount units for the last three weeks. We had over 500 units in our storage lot and we are a smaller transport company.
Niece works in accounting at a dealer and she said the sales are beginning to roll through pretty good but ramp up back to the manufacturers will probably be delayed for a bit longer due to ripple effect.
As far as this particular fire goes, FR can have those lines up and running again in a matter of days in other locations. They have plenty of space to do it.
