I just got word today that Wearahuaser and the other major timber companies(including the one I contract for) are planning indefinate partial layoffs at two weeks a month. These layoffs will include all logging, hauling, mill opperations, and exporting.

Things are going to get really tough here in the wet west, my crew members are going to have a very bad time as several have had spouses already lose jobs.

Most logging companies like mine have huge equiptment payments, we are going to bleed out quick.
