International Paper announces plant closures for Savannah and Riceboro

[Cadcom]

When I was trucking i went to Cedar Springs regularly




was a long day to pickup a load led trailer from the rail yard in East Point and deliver it in Atlanta metro, then take the empty trailer to cedar springs and get it loaded and be back in East Point by 10 PM to get it on the train .
With my 350 horsepower cabover International


And the mill in Cottonton Alabama right below Columbus too


You’d think with all the Amazon deliveries that there would be more demand for boxes and stuff but apparently not ?

There aint nothing close to Cedar Springs.

Well the pulp & paper mills up North still run wide open go figure

You right about that .

I knew the folks that ran the florist in Blakey and when they got ready to retire they couldn’t give it away .
They tried to give it to any of the folks that had worked there for years and no one wanted it even though it was a pretty good money maker .

They just closed it and moved to Florida

They are constantly closing everywhere. A LOT of northern plants went down decades ago in the south it’s more of the last decade that’s really hit them…

reckon it will smell better down there?

To the plant workers, it smelled like money. I worked at Cedar Springs back in the 70's pipefitter. There was a plywood mill too. I wonder if the Clyattville plant will stay open ?

Maybe some of these folks can get a job at the new car factory that’s being built

Is it sort of nearby ?

No no, different skill set.
