A Teamsters strike against the nation’s second-largest vehicle hauler won’t immediately affect deliveries to dealers of General Motors and Ford Motor Co. vehicles, say spokespeople for the two automakers.
Teamsters drivers went on strike against Performance Transportation Services Inc. this morning. Performance Transportation, of suburban Detroit, hauls light vehicles for almost all of the major automakers that sell vehicles in the United States, according to the company’s Web site.
GM spokeswoman Deborah Silverman said GM has a plan to make sure cars get to dealerships but declined to give details.
Ford Motor spokesman Todd Nissen said the automaker also had a plan to move vehicles from plants to dealers.
