thats a downer. was is just a lack of business or what?

a company is underbiding, and when you have 15 machines you need to get a fair pricefor your work

The other company must have had Cimaf heads and could bid lower since they were so much faster

Hey james, I saw where there machine will be at Ritchie bros. So I called around, they are still clearing pipeline just doing it a different way. See what you hear about that..

Haven't seen enough Cimaf's in TX/LA to shake a stick at. "The other company" couldn't come close to ClearTrac's productivity or quality. That's why many clients were previosly "The Other Company's" clients... even though CT's prices were higher.

When a competitor is so deep in the hole that the only way to survive is run the biggest competitor out... And ClearTrac knew when not to be stupid. Word it that the "Big Boy" is still going out even without ClearTrac around.

ClearTrac is out of business... I suggested clearing with det-cord but they didn't go for that.

There was a new company created and another company beefed up "By the vacuum."

What you may have heard was there was about a month and a half after the announcement when jobs were being finished and loose ends tied up.

From what I understand, Clear trac was doing fine, but the owner needed the capital out of clear trac to float his other business.
