    Reading that Swift/Knight is buying U.S. Express. Sounds like drivers will be jumping ship soon.

    WHY would drivers be "Jumping Ship"?
    Since Swift/Knight merged, what suddenly became so bad??
    Can/Will you provide EVIDENCE to Support your assumption??
    Please be specific and concise! ;)
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.

    Honestly, I don't think there's a nickles difference between the 3. Which explains a lot about why they got bought.
    Last I heard Variant was sporting a 170% turnover rate. So, that sounds right in line.

    It’s Knight that bought them just like they bailed and bought Swift and own Abilene , AA Cooper , Barr Nun and now USX. Probably won’t have the words operated by Knight on those USX trucks. If you’re on a good account and happy then stay put I guess.
     
    Lonesome and flood Thank this.

    Your talking about drivers who work for a company ranked 66th in driver pay. With that caliber of due diligence most of them aren't going anywhere.
     
    JoeyJunk and Opus Thank this.
