General Motors High Supply of Pick Up Trucks

Most people when they think of General Motors, automatically think of their pick up line that they offer. After all, the trucks that they offer have many times been the main reason that people buy General Motors. However, it seems that GM is trying to go a different route nowadays, and are trying to cut down the supply of trucks that they have on hand. Which as many people know, is the one type of vehicle that GM seems to always have available for consumers .  

This revelation comes after news from the Fort Wayne GM plant that has cancelled Saturday shifts for the rest of the year, which was posted on the local UAW's web site. The reason for this is that they are trying to sustain GM off of the truck supply that they have. The plant had been running half shifts on Saturday's, along with a few regular shifts on Saturday's since the beginning of the year to get the stock pile of trucks that they have. 

According to analysts, it has been a concern of their's with the supply of trucks that GM has. They seem to usually maintain a 120 day supply of trucks, which is way above the recommended 80 day supply of pick up trucks that is recommended. However, GM has assured everyone that they are not going to be offering big incentives to move the trucks, they are simply going to slow down supply until the demand picks back up. Why is everyone so interested in the supply that GM has? No one wants to see a repeat of past years in which they are basically giving the trucks away and losing money, which led to many companies to declare bankruptcy, GM included. 

However, GM has not released what they are going to do about their other plants that are mainly making trucks. They have expressed their ideas as being those that would upgrade the plants to handle more production of newer models or something along that lines to keep the workers having work.
