    Yeah, I used Uber once to get out of a jam. Their loads are 45k lbs. and they want to pay $1.90. GTFOH.

    I seen a Convoy truck today in Yuma AZ. Not pulling a Convoy trailer and could not tell if someone else had bought it and running it without taking off the decals.

    I see there are a couple Convoy trailers sitting at IKEA in STL if someone wants to go grab one.

    The trailers are not Convoy’s, they are owned by Premier. The lease is with Premier and I’m quite sure that they know how to get them back if they need to.

    The Convoy lettering was just an arrangement that they had with Premier.

    I wonder if people are confusing the closure with a bankruptcy situation. I have yet to see a filing of bankruptcy or any stories of contractors not getting their settlements.

    Considering the caliber of investors in convoy I’m sure closing it down was just a sensible solution…for now.
     
    Vampire and Siinman Thank this.

    Well, here it is if you haven’t seen it already.
    As suspected they want to motivate people to get their fuel card. I’m going to look closely at the fuel card details and compare it to my NASTC card. After ignoring them for a long time they finally offered me a generous credit line instead of their original offer with pre-paid BS. I’m not sharing my bank statements with them either, they can go pound sand. IMG_4623.png IMG_4624.png
    Been down on NASTC lately since wasting my time with them on an insurance quote (spent a day getting them all the required documents only to be put on ignore).
     
    Vampire and Siinman Thank this.

    Yep I got an email the other day from them saying the same thing as you posted. I only use them a few times a year it seems so not a big deal for me. Let me know how the fuel card works. I still am pretty happy with my RTS card, Got 2.99 a gallon in OK yesterday. Best price I have gotten in a while but does seem to be coming down in the lower midwest
     
    Vampire Thanks this.

    It’s official, they’re up and running now.
    Not much for loads yet, but for me it’s good news.
    Didn’t have to do much to activate my account again, no carrier packet etc. IMG_4933.png
     
    PPLC, Siinman, Vampire and 1 other person Thank this.

    Nothing but short haul loads and not very many options so far. Been up for I think 2-3 weeks plus now. I stopped looking since it never has anything on it. Wish it was the same as before but nothing worth doing so far.
     
    Concorde and PPLC Thank this.

    Guess I got a late invitation to the party..as usual.
    I took a look and you’re right, nothing worth doing at the moment. I may consider doing a small easy load just to see how everything goes.

    I’m hoping they get Kimberly Clark account back.. I did very well with those loads.
     
    Siinman Thanks this.
