I saw this on their web page, and it sounds like they are leaning toward the two week shutdown. Nice of them NOT to mention this in their Chevrolet Leadership Message yesterday. :roll:

We are not closing until we are mandated to do so. Hell, I think 3 people here have already had it anyhow.

We had a record month last month and we are off to smashing it this month. We have been slammed here in NE Oklahoma. I do find it odd that my DSM had my sales data pulled to
see if any of my needs may fall into the Generals new QPO promotions....lol

We went from being open until 9pm on Tues/Thurs to only being open to 8pm for now...Yippy! I was pushing for 7pm or earlier.

A dealer group close to us shut down their evening and Saturday hours and is strictly M-F open - 5pm right now.

Another really big group laid off 4% of their employees so far :cry:

Scary times. Hang in there everybody and stay healthy.

My DMA just sent this...

All,

There was some news late yesterday that the UAW proposed a two week shut down. That did not happen but we did agree to somethings that will affect our assembly plants but should not affect our PDC’s at this time. We will keep you posted as we continue to monitor the situation.

Also please keep me posted if you have to close or are going to close either by choice or due to the infection.

Thank you and be safe,
PartScott
