I'm sure that there are some salespeople in SC with herpes. It wouldn't suprise me one bit.

I will not name customer names but I will tell you that there are customers in all parts of the US that are not only cancelling orders for these new Fortis trucks, but they are actually trying to get out of leases on new ones that are less than 6 months old. I also know of a customer that just refused delivery of a very large quantity of trucks because he was told that they were going to be the XM model, not the Fortis. The reason that they refused the Fortis models is because of thier experience with them at other plants. One of the main problems is severe overheating and the inabilty of Hyster to correct the problem. I am not saying that Hyster is not attempting to correct the problems, I am saying that they have not been able to FIX the problems.

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
