    FFE, American Eagle, and their sister companies in Ft. Worth, Lisa, Middleton, Great Western meat were all under the umbrella of CONWELL Corp, not CONWAY. FFE has gotten rid of American Eagle, put Middleton and Great Western meat to rest, not sure what's going on with Lisa, and now is married to KLLM, or merged, or has been bought out, however you care to word it. There, now you know !

    I know that. I was being sarcastic with him. I thought everyone knew of YRC and their respective companies. Yellow, Roadway, Penns Best, USF and all their subsidiaries.

    The Club Car drivers are extremely unhappy with the deal, and from what they've told me, now this is their words, that Club Car/ Ingersoll is trying to get out of the deal, CRST is screwing the pooch. Club Car has very specific customers with big pockets and CRST has been dropping the ball. This is what their drivers have been saying, whether or not if it's true I can't tell you, but I know that CRST isn't exactly the creme de la creme of transportation and logistics.

    He's right. It was Overnite. That's why you see some UPS flatbeds now.

    Tell me about it. They started that in 2009 I think when flatbed freight was drying up.
