For those of you who are still around on this site that have worked for Air Ride... good news...
THEIR CLOSED.
Landair bought them, and their facility will be turned into a repair shop.
I know this, because I live right down the road.. -
looks like DHL is there problem .
-
I wish we could keep a good trucking company up here in nw ohio -
-
Well, I do know that DHL has suspended all US domestic service.... only doing International service out of US now. That probably puts cramp in Air Ride's plans even if it still is around.
-
All I know is when you drive past Air Rides property its bare. I've also seen several Landair tractors pulling Air Rides trailers.

This doesn't have anything to do with Air-Ride, but just info I got....
Landair also bought the sister company I work for...Summit Logistics. Summit had dedicated lanes with Simmons Bedding Company. This just took place last week. -
I drove for Land air for about the last 6 weeks Oct and Nov 2008. Good company, OK equipment (except for some 15 year old Air-Ride trailers) and home office in Greenville TN has good people over there it seems.
Landair has a nasty no pay / long layover holiday schedule for all of their dedicated air freight lanes. Landair is also very fussy about idle time even thought this is the winter season right now.
You will get more then an earful about anything over "30%" idle time. I left before they could fire me, take out money for over idle from my pay or some other great idea to keep me freezing in the cold far North Central States with 20 degree nights in Nov 2008.
Long lay overs waits for airfreight shuttles in cold Northern Country with a low idle time maximum makes for "T" ed off drivers
Bax Global has slowed down with the rest of the industry as of late, Landair was not hauling DHL freight that I saw. I was in the North Central states. Landair was running 53 foot trailers with less then 10,000 pounds in the box every night the whole time I was there.
Bax (now bought by Schenker) must have money to burn running those light trailers all the time?
If you want to know more about these gopher's (Landair) let me know.
