    I guess you didn't read anything at all..what part of "they can reapply for their postions" did you not understand? ...celadon stuck it to them.

    Celadon just bought a company,which was failing, and going to close anyway.
    Obviously the drivers will need to be part of a new payroll and benefit system.
    Dont want to work for Celadon?
    NO GREAT LOSS!

    Don't be fooled and think for one second that celadon gives any shred of #### for the employees at tango. They really don't care if a single driver or office employee stays. They bought the freight lanes and any equipment they decide worth keeping. If all those drivers left that just means a quick burst of freight for their drivers until they hire more people to fill the tango trucks.

    Small Update:
    Was asked by Tango if I was interested in transferring/applying my truck to Celadon Owner Operator program. I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes.
    My response was "Why would I want to when they have just lost a lawsuit placed against them by a couple of owner operators and then Celadon sues them for breach of contract?"
    Had to explain to them the article I had read.

    The owner of my company knows the ex owners of tango. I was told maybe a month ago this was happening. I didn't think much about it until I saw this.
    Yea the sale was not for the drivers because my boss told me then to tell tango drivers to come over with us.

    Who cares? Tango was just another scank trucking outfit and Celadon ain't much better either way
    We are all better off with one less bottom feeder outfit, guess those slime balls in the office will have find another pair of shoulders to stand on

    What does that mean?
    Who is that directed at?

    I know the costs to run a trucking company. Not the same size as tango but I know the costs but I ALWAYS took care of my drivers even as the company was going thru a tough time and ended up having to close the doors. I didn't hide from them what was going on and I helped them when we finally closed the doors.

    The owners at Tango would not take a cut from their money to help save the company and they went out with a ton of money. That's greed and maybe some people think that's ok but that's what is wrong around the world.
    Greed is not good.
