Last Day [edit]
The last truck to be manufactured at the Shreveport Operations plant rolled off the line early Tuesday afternoon August 28, 2012. On the front of the vehicle, a banner was attached displaying that it was the 8,853,693rd vehicle that had been assembled at the plant. On the back, someone had placed a sign that said, "That's all, folks!"
On its final day of operation, just over 800 hourly and salaried workers were on the clock. Once the line shut down, only a few dozen workers remained for the plant's decommissioning process. At one time 3,000 employees were on the payroll.
