i go on line with the new GM jackson,ms pdc in september, any dealers being suppled from this pdc, how is it???how is the fill rate?
how are the back orders?

The new Jackson PDC, like the new Charlotte facility is brand new, thus you don't have any idea about backorders, fill rates ECT. We were told at a meeting a few weeks ago that we would have to use Atlanta's old RSG list until the new PDC at Charlotte had enough sales to generate a list. When asked how soon that would be we were told 2nd qtr of 2000, PROBABLY. So, I guess we all get to grin and bare it, because these new "cookie Cutter" PDC's are going to stock fewer #'s than Atlanta did, and have fewer employee's to do the job. Part of the reason behind the less is better is the fact that AC/Delco will not be serviced out of these PDC's, as AC/Delco is getting their own Super PDC's right after the 1st of the year.

we were told the same story at our meeting
i don't believe a pdc that is smaller by two
thirds can fill orders as well as the big
pdc's like atlanta or fort worth thus go's
csi down the tubes.
back orders and referrals are becoming a problem now just think what it will be like
when the big pdc's are gone.
