    Reported their quarterlies to the public and was picked up by the latest Trucker mag.

    Low, really low numbers but what got me was a quote by the commander,
    " persistently high number of unmanned trucks "....... and I chuckled......the answer is as clear as the nose on his face yet he doesn't see it and by the look of his numbers, it won't be a problem much longer.

    Oh, they lost money in the 3rd qtr. ( forgot to add that , sorry )

    You must not be going to a school that will keep you indebted to them. :biggrin_25525:

    I very seldom see them rolling on I-40 anymore. They must be getting ready to tank. :biggrin_2559:

    I doubt the board knows their fate..... I'm sure it's day by day. 4Q numbers published early next year will tell more.......

    $10 down they lose money again in 4Q and Celedoom makes a play before 2Q12 is over..... anybody?

    nobody knows whats happening truly besides the management that can look at the books,the accountants and the planners etc.

    if its something they cant fix they will likely sell or at the very least seek an investor..

    trends point towards companies getting larger though,from what ive seen.

    You really should open your eyes while on the interstate, or any highway.

    Just appears to be some red flags. Besides the quarterly financials, there is Celadon purchasing 6.29% of the stock at 55% of book value, reduced units in service, and reduced new truck purchase promise from 250 to 155 for second half of 2011.
    And despite it all execs keep acting like there's no problem.
    Look, God forbid we have another Arrow situation in the industry, for the drivers sake.
    But let's not have a situation where hundreds of drivers are unemployed saying "I didn't see it coming"..
    Not trying to spell doom and gloom to USA drivers, just stay informed please.
