true unless they're behind they'll start up today at the earliest.
and is usually 1 week to a week and a half. They all shut down in the summer also for 1-2 weeks depending on the company but there never at the same time in the summer and why I have to work regardless.
I rounded up the regular 4 day 10 hour work week as a 2 week shut down, in which our plant runs 3 crews 10 hours a day 7 days a week. I know Toyota follows around the same time frame as well as the GM plant in Ft Wayne and the VW plant in Chattanooga.
The summer shut downs roll depending on sales and order banks. Our plants order banks are through the roof so we only get one week that follows the 4th of July week.
But to shorten it down, yes, just about every plant in the US ran no production on New Years Eve.
