I picked up a BOMAG road roller in Kewaunee Illinois yesterday. The workers there told me that the plant was closing. At first (sadly) I thought of myself and the loads we get from there. But then asked the guy who told me about the news if he had plans. He had none. He said he had 17 years there. And since the plant is pretty much in the middle of nowhere, anything he could find would be far off. I found a few articles about it. They say they relocating to possibly the southern US, or overseas. The workers tell me the place will be in Germany.
BOMAG is part of the FAYAT group. A company based in France.
Either way a small Illinois town is soon to drop off of the map. And jobs to go overseas. And the Joseph Goebbles media tell us the economy is getting better.
I am a trucker. I move the economy. It is getting worse.
