Foretravel is busy

Well, I talked to a couple people here yesterday and David is booked thru Feb.  The guys in production are working full bore too.  That is good. I will get more info next week.

John, when you see David would you ask how many people he now has in his shop.  I do know he went from 3 or 4 to 6 last year.  Think he may be running out of bays...And two months out for his shop is about right.  I have never been able to get in sooner.  Thanks

Will find out more Monday but on the 31st they were pretty quiet and they had an open bay too. Might have been down a man or two as well.

They ARE busy;  Lots of rigs in there right now; 

Also;  a good part of FT's business model for the near future is for about a Dozen coaches a year, with the balance being taken up with work out of maintenance and refurb.

My rig is in there, dropped off in Mid-Dec, and we went ahead with a couple of refurb things to give David some work!!
(and fixing a place by the drivers side wood from a window leak that we didn't see)

Love the place:  many little jobs that I KNOW will take me a day or two (like changing out the fuel solenoid that I did, and had a friend help with last year - ), that they do in less than an hour!... I LOVE IT!!!!

They finished up a couple coaches today.  They have had empty bays all week but it is steady and everybody is working.
