Updated site pics

Added some pics of the site I shot today. Walls on the plant are starting to go up. Lots of steel in the Corp office building since I was there last.

How close to the old plant is the new one? I would like to make the trip over when they have the grand opening.

About 15 miles

Chief;

If you coming into the area on I26 East bound, exit at Exit 194. At Jedburgh Rd (at end of exit ramp) go right. First rd on your left, go left. Follow to the dead end, turn right. Corp Office and Plant will be on your right about a 100 yrds down the road.

I wish ALF would post the new deliveries as good as they post the pictures of their new building. Any way to get them to do this. I emailed Corp. office with no reply. Hopefully they just are not updating the website and that is not all the trucks they are making. Someone please help.

Although I'm employed by ALF the pics I post are my pics, not ALF's. I go to the site on my own time, not ALF's. I usually go on Sunday afternoon to check the site, and shoot the pics with my own camera, not ALF's. The place where my pics are located is not ALF's, it's a location that's provided to anyone free of charge through Google & Picasa.

I will bring to the attention of the Marketing Manager your concern on the new deliveries not being posted on the ALF Website.

Looks like the project is moving right along. Since you're talking about pics we never had a pic from the factory of our truck and I was wondering if you could get me one. You can pm me or email me thanks.

RETJAX.
I FULLY UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION. THE OFFICIAL ALF SITE IS CONSTANLY UPDATING NEW PHOTO'S OF THE CONSTRUCTION AND THATS GREAT. I JUST WISH THEY WOULD UPDATE NEW DELIVERIES. I ALSO HAVE A TRUCK BEING BUILT, AND PHOTOS WOULD BE GREAT.

From what I have seen - American LaFrance tends to put most of their money into Reasearch and Development, and Quality of construction. But I have to agree - their marketing leaves a little to be desired.

They should enlist the help of Pierce to aid in the marketing campaign...Pierce is a very good marketing company!

RELEASE THE HOUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

Corp Office:
Roof is on
Second story floor has been poured.
Started installation of the window frames (on the backside)
Started installation of the HVAC ducting.
Brick was pressure washed on the front.


Plant:
All the walls are up.
They've started installing the steel supports and roof trusses. Couldn't get inside to take pics... would have had to walk through the mud, and I had my Sunday go to meeting shoes on )
