    I see all the newer Conway trailers are branded with XPO. I havnt had a chance to talk to any drivers at docks. Anybody know are they dropping the Conway brand and going XPO? Or is it gonna be a mix match deal?

    XPO logistics bought them sometime either late last year or earlier this year. Right around the same time UPS bought Coyote Logistics.

    Usually the parent company gets their name on the equipment.

    Alright here is my opinion on the matter. And i can't take it anymore and i know Chuck Norris says that if you don't have anything nice to say then you shouldn't say it, but i can't take it no more.

    First, i think Con-ways original color coded paint schemes was just the greatest. i think the northeast was brown and orange, South was blue and black i think?, another region was light green and black and so on.

    Then they decided to combine all the divisions and use what looks like someone took a blue magic marker and just scribbled "Conway" on the sides of the trucks and trailers and i think the person who made that decision is just stupid. i would really like to meet this meathead.

    Nobody knows how to paint a truck or design a good logo these days.

    The bottom line is i could care less about XPO and conway.

    A Con-Way / XPO set passed me on the climb out of Wilkes-Barre, PA early Thursday morning. The lead pup was Con-Way livery, and the trailing pup was XPO livery.

    Rebranding in full swing. New uniforms, building signage, everything. Conway doesn't exist as of October last year when we were bought.

    What's funny though is they haven't re-branded one tractor usually that's the first thing they do is slap up the new name on the door of the tractor like UPS did with Overnite. XPO at least here in Ohio they have re-branded some trailers, but I haven't seen one tractor with XPO on it.

    @Russian Rabbit is right the original color coded system was far superior.
