    I guess acquiring terminals and over paying for a trucking company by a couple of hundred million dollars in the midst of the worse time trucking has ever seen has a lot to do with it. It’s understandable why Dave Jackson, the number one in charge and his $850K yearly salary was fired, oops, my bad, he resigned. I’m thinking it’s a very hostile environment at the offices in Phoenix and Richmond. I’m having a great time enjoying the news out of Phoenix. I figure the $3000 dollars they owe me for the missed 401K contribution is going to cost them a boatload of social media posts.

    I'm sure the Church back in Salt Lake City will back them up.

    Didn’t Swift-Knight buy like AA Cooper or something last year? Maybe that’s the LTL footprint they are trying to expand. I might me misremembering, tho.

    After reading that article it appears to me that some of those purchases of other trucking companies was to buy the contract freight to increase “utilization”

    US Express really helped to cover (or cover up) a few issues.

    Cost cutting/control???

    ya, I hope they make it right but they have a history of playing games.

    Until then, I look forward to your future posts.
