Topics I've Started

Life on the line...

I thought I should move this information since I hijacked the thread started by Rich S (sorry about that!!). I will add info if anyone asks about my time at the factory, and I am sure much has changed since the company was moved to Portland, so I can only tell ya what I know when it was in Kelowna B.C.

Started in 1993 in West Line Center, installing radiators once the engine was dropped in the chassis, did 6 years in that area doing various jobs. Rad drop, engine prep, engine drop, rad build, exhaust install and mudflap install. Worked for 3 years in the warehouse doing everything related to that job...receiving, stocking, shipping and bulk transport.

I was there when the very last truck rolled off the line (September 2002), Pe Ben Industries (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada)bought that one to finish off their fleet. I will post pics when I unpack all my photos that were taken during the last two days of operation.
