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.

Scott, same here in the deep south.......paper mills laying off 15% to 25% of the work force and are cutting back to 4 day work weeks (the ones staying open) and the plywood plants are shutting down for now, hoping to start back up in a few months....this as you know will trickle down to the loggers/haulers/pulp wood guys and everybody in general........
