Back to dedicated

It has been a while since I posted in here, mostly because I haven't been doing anything that interesting. Besides trying to close on a house, I have also been doing a regular loop between Parma, Ohio, and Lake Orion, Michigan. Basically running stamped parts from GM's Metal fabrication plant to their assembly plant. It isn't the best paying run, and only goes three times a week, but with my savings of eating at home and the extra time to deal with the house stuff it is perfect. It should also last just long enough to get everything done and us moved before I need to find another run. The assembly plan in Lake Orion currently is making the Pontiac G6, and since Pontiac is going away as a brand, so will the car. So at the end of September the plant will be shutting down for a year or so for retooling. Eventually it will reopen and assemble whatever small car GM ends up putting there. Apparently Michigan gave them a huge tax incentive to keep a plant there, beating out Spring Hill, Tennessee, and Janesville, Wisconsin. The odd part about that is the Spring Hill Plant was just redone to do the Chevrolet Traverse (which is moving up to be assembled in Michigan as well), so is a very up to date and versatile assembly line.
