Hi can anyone confirm or deny that Kryger Glass sold its Wholesale? I was told that this is the reason the whole ordering sysytem has changed, and apparently the phone system has changed too?

if they have that creates a choke point, they are the last independent supplier around.

No one is talking about it here, so I did a search, never heard of either one of these places? Must be small operations, but sometimes that is best.

Re: Kryger Sold???

Talk about small there was a great distributor here, ODG I think they might have had a store in SC? anyway they were great. Not sure what happened to them, just about the same thing big boss screaming they would never sell few days later Satan takes over... Ooops I meant Pilkington

Re: Kryger Sold???

I believe they just sold the St. Charles location only.

Re: Kryger Sold???

Kryger Glass Co. has agreed to pay 53 workers back wages of $107,476
following an investigation by the department's Wage and Hour Division.
According to the investigation, the company violated the Fair Labor
Standards Act's overtime and record-keeping provisions when night delivery
drivers were improperly classified as exempt from overtime pay.
Investigators found that $52,187 was due to 33 employees at the Omaha,
Neb., location, and $55,289 to 20 employees at the Kansas City location.
The Kansas City, Mo.-based company operates retail auto glass repair
shops and wholesales products to those retail stores and auto dealerships

Re: Kryger Sold???

That is just over 2 Grand per employee, One thing I regret was working my Butt off for DT, I was hourly and worked 50-60 hours a week but was told no overtime was aloud because we was a new shop, Even when the Big Dog was at our shop for a meeting, He said, "Any problems I am the Man to talk to". I raised my hand and said... "I'm working 50-60 hours a week and only getting paid for 40" That is when the Branch Manager jumped in and said 'Because were a NEW shop, so NO OT!!! The Big Dog didn't even respond. Later the same morning I heard this Big Dog on the phone bragging on how sales were up 40% and DT was having the best year ever!!! I finished loading my van and drove straight to another glass shop and filled out an application, That was my last day on the Job for DT!!! I am actually embarrassed for allowing myself to be their slave, I should of stopped working after 8 hours, No excuses however, I was 700 miles from home working to start a new life in an area of the country I Love. The worst was Monday July 5th everyone got a holiday paid day off, I got called in to drive 150 miles to install an 1061... Worst place I ever worked for... Glad to see others stand up for what is right!!! Life lesson, Learn how to say NO!!!
