I know an (ex?)employee over there, Don Hall. He said there was a ton of money owed to the shop guys and looks like they all took it on the chin (or a little south). He had complained for a while about UP's use of substandard parts like rebuilt electrics,clutch discs/pressure plates and clutch forks from AutoZone they had to modify to work...not a good scene. He also said they were using Lakewood scattershields...without dialing them in, just bolt and go. Said the seizure started when Marshals came in, told everybody to get their personal posessions OUT in 10 minutes or else they would be seized as well. Ever tried to roll a monster SnapOn fully loaded UPHILL? Said it was one he// of a wild scrambel as guys were just throwing stuff out the doors. Had to go thru inspections to be sure no co. property was removed. said the long arm of the law was inside about a half hour, closing computers and filing cabinets and escorting folks out of the offices. He also said the business manager took off out a side door so he didn't have to answer 'questions' from former staff owed pay. Seems the main guys had plenty of cash though.......
I guess Shelby will get dragged into this...should have done a little bit better due diligence before loaning his name to these cro---er, fellows!
