Power Trac Closed This Week For Vacation

   / Power Trac Closed This Week For Vacation #11  
For planning purposes...
We should note that PT is closed TWICE every year for one week each. The second time is, I believe, for the week of Thanksgiving.

PT operates in a very European manner, with factory-wide, top-to-bottom closings twice a year. It takes some getting used to, along with some planning to cover (most) problems which might arise during their closing periods. At least they are only closed for one week each time, not the 4+ weeks which are more common in the EU.

"" PT should educate every owner with a flyer in every part that they send out year round letting them know when they will not be available, so you can plan as best you can. ""


Thanks to you and TBN apparently PT doesn't need a flyer to get the word out!! Thanks for the info!!

They could make a posting on the front page of their web page about the closing.

Or we could just plan our lives around PT and take 2 weeks off each year as well! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

My in-laws worked in factories all their adult lives. They are use to the whole factory closing scenario. I was from a different background. My dad took rarely took vacations and my mom had the whole summer off; she was a teacher. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

At least we all now know to plan accordingly for next year. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Amen, MR!
I like that idea a whole lot. Slightly on a tangent to the thrust of this thread, but not too far off, I hope.

After living abroad for awhile, I have learned to appreciate that philosophy much better. In a nutshell, the European mentality is "work to live," while the US mentality is quite the opposite, "live to work." It bears out in all sorts of statistics from vacation times to family priorities. Doubt it will catch on here anytime soon, however...
