Build Season Extensions

[Joe G.]

The only time build has ever been extended was by a matter of hours, and it was due to a storm on ship day, which prevented fedex from doing their thing back in the day when we all crated up and shipped our robots to every regional. It last happened over a decade ago.

In recent years, there have been mid-season increases to the withholding allowance (2010 and 2014 come to mind.) I wouldn't be surprised to see this again this year.

I assume you're referring to 2003? The deadline was moved from Tuesday to Thursday due to a giant storm. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=18088

The ship date was also extended in 2004 due to KOP issues. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=25230

Here is the issue in Chicago. We are working out of a shipping container and I had to blow the snow out of the front of it so we could get in. The drift on the right side is about 5 feet high.

We missed 5 days last year. It hurt.

So this is what it has come to? WildStang is now the boxcar children?

The Average Joes have missed a few days, mostly in week 1. I think the total is five up to now.
