Goodyear To Close Nebraska Warehouse

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. will close a warehouse and distribution centre in Lincoln, Nebraska by the end of the year, eliminating about 160 jobs. Goodyear spokesman Skip Scherer said the closure was to improve customer service and has nothing to do with the recent announcement that Goodyear will reduce its reported profit for the past six years by an additional $65 million because of improper accounting.
