cal50 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Won't happen! KTP builds the best and makes Ford the most profit So your saying Ohio is going to take all of KTP's work huh Norfolk won a national quality award and its now a parking lot. Don't ever feel above corporate decisions how or why things are sourced the way they are. OHAP is getting "truck" work. How much is actually sourced there remains to be seen but the change over is in progress and on going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlecountry Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Same thing that I'm hearing. Union told us that it's not going to happen. LOL!!! Ford wants more trucks with beds. Maybe they can ship the beds to Ohio or Ohio ship the finished truck to KTP That would be the Ford logic instead of putting a c crew at KTP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingman1 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 these orders are commercial fleet no bed, think ma bell truck with small one man lift and work drawers, construction work trucks, service trucks ,cable co. phone co. number hearing per year is 60,000 for these, possible small bed line for outside of u.s. orders, hearing paint already ran trials for aluminum ,,when I say hearing ,cause it was my ears, this is all real, trades in plant have been on full utilization for over a year and if your not a trade and don't know what that means ask one!!!! we are asshole deep in work thru end of year for multiple launches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Union told us about 60,000 jobs per year that they are trying to keep at KTP. Nothing but blowing smoke. Our plant looks like a construction zone, building and adding on all over the place. Maybe they can ship the beds to Ohio or Ohio ship the finished truck to KTP That would be the Ford logic instead of putting a c crew at KTP C crew is coming back to KTP either before or after the 2017 launch. Keep hearing that they would like to do it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
