    About what Heartland Express paid for Gordon a few years ago while I was there. The long time drivers were in shock that the Gordon family bailed out on them...LOL 95 Million is a really good reason to retire......

    I doubt that Swift/Knight could afford what the Acklie family would name as the price. We have around 5000 power units, 2 or 3 trailers per power unit and a lot of terminals, some of which have been recently updated and expanded...I would venture a guess that the price would be in the high 9 digit or low 10 digit neighborhood. Besides, if they sold it, Winston would be out of a job...

    You can never tell. They bought AAA Cooper last year for $1.2 billion, cash.

    Exactly... that's a lot of money out of the savings account.

    Only a few days till I take my HazMat. I passed the new HazMat theory test without issue. Decided to take it without studying to test what I remembered and scored over 80% on all 140 known Texas hazmat questions. A lot of questions are just common sense yet it showed how many people picked the wrong ones and some seem like people did it on purpose.

    Example: Why must you placard your vehicle when hauling hazmat material?

    Correct answer - To display the risk to the public.

    Answer picked 2nd - Cause it looks cool....
