RE:The worst part
The last time the company went through this type of scenario it was after W. Trainor stepped out and gave the reins to the sales manager. The Company was then known as GrandeWest Transportation. It ended with Trainor coming back in and running the show again.
This time around he is staying on as CEO but again has given the sales manager an upgrade to the President's seat. With two of them working on a rescue plan can they put something together for alternative financing?
Having the employees off work is not a good thing but if it can be reined in at a couple or 3 weeks it can take the place of a summer vacation -- although 'with pay' would be a lot better.
If they have a backlog of secure orders there should be someone willing to put up some funding.
