Peterbilt to lay off workers

07:26 AM CST on Thursday, January 15, 2009

By Candace Carlisle / Staff Writer

Peterbilt Motor Co. — Denton’s largest private-sector employer — announced it will lay off a small percentage of its 2,000-employee workforce effective Jan. 26.

The layoffs will mirror a reduced truck build rate due to economic conditions, affecting less than 172 workers, said Robin Easton, treasurer of Peterbilt’s parent company, PACCAR Inc.

“We only build to order, and we will match the demand of the market,” Easton said. “The driving factor [of the layoffs] is the economy.”

Easton would not disclose the exact number of employees to be laid off or their severance terms.
