    I thought A&S was already bought out by another company? Kinard... yeah I thought Kinard bought them out , hence the name A&S Kinard.

    Nope. Kinard was bought by A&S.

    Never know with Celadon.
     
    RJ33RD Thanks this.

    Wow. Did not see that one coming. Also didn't see Kinard getting bought out by A & S, those blue KWs were a mainstay on 78/81. I can't believe they sold out. Wow. Just wow.

    There's still a few of those blue KW's around, but they are slowly being sold off for new white Volvos. The Celadon purchase literally blew my mind.

    Don't they handle a lot of Big Lots freight? Hopefully nobody suffers any compensation cuts.
