:52:02
If they're lucky enough to draw me...
:52:05
at least they got somebody to talk to.
:52:07
What?
:52:23
These people couldn't find a truck.
They called two or three different places.

:52:27
They called U-Haul...
:52:29
and they said all their trucks
were out for today.

:52:32
They called Ryder Truck, and they said
all of theirs were out for today.

:52:36
A gentleman came by, we hauled him
down, and he didn't want to get involved.

:52:40
So now I assume they're on the phone,
trying to get a trailer...

:52:43
from Mark's Trailer Rental
up on Carpenter Road.

:52:47
Why are all the trucks being rented here?
:52:50
People are probably moving.
:52:55
With GM closing,
there are so many people leaving town.

:52:59
We've handled
over 82,000 address changes.

:53:01
We're having a lot of people
just abandon their house sometimes.

:53:05
Thank God we're getting
new equipment here.

:53:07
We're getting new higher-tech computers
that will be able to process more mail.

:53:12
I don't foresee this job evaporating.
:53:15
I feel we're secure in forwarding mail.
:53:17
Usually we see somebody every day
that we know...

:53:21
that's moved on, left town.
:53:23
A lot of people are looking
for work elsewhere.

:53:25
My husband's currently laid off, and we're
giving some thought to it ourselves.

:53:30
The GM layoff.
:53:33
We have been having so many trucks...
:53:36
go one-way to places like Florida...
:53:38
and places south of here.
:53:41
We have a very hard time
keeping trucks in the Flint area.

:53:45
It's expected we'll get some
of our fleet back towards midsummer...

:53:50
but with the layoffs coming heavier...
:53:54
it's going to be very hard
to keep a truck around here.
