Prime and Western Flyer Express Merging

Expect a mass exodus of Western Flyer drivers if their trucks are turned down to below 65 mph.

 

There is no merger between Prime and WFX. WFX has partnered with Prime in a power only agreement, where WFX Refrigerated contractors and drivers will be utilized to haul Prime freight and pull Prime equipment. In turn, Prime will utilize WFX equipment as well. Nothing changes for WFX drivers or contractors. I am a WFX contractor and have been for two plus years. We will simply have access to Prime freight, equipment, fuel network, and facilities. WFX contractors will see no change in leasing, pay, or anything else; likewise for company drivers. This is only the refrigerated division of WFX. Nothing changes for the dry division. This is a partnership, similar to what they did with Trans Am, not a merger.

 

Yeah, FedEx pretty much said the same thing when they bought American Freightways
That didn't last long

 

Yeah same thing Heartland said when buying CFI...it was just to coexist now heartland is gobbling up the CFI brand entirely...

 

Same thing was said when Heartland bought Interstate.
Also when Heartland also bought Millis Transfer,and their drivers were reporting that the company has gone downhill since.
And then of course when Yellow bought Roadway-we all know how that “partnership” went!!

 

Sounds like basically the same thing that Wilson Logistics has been doing with Prime for years now.

 

2 bottom feeders got together. Nothing to see here.

 

Having to deal with all the "power only" carriers that partnered with prime.

Prime always forces their show onto the "partner"

Soon WFX will be forced to take on overflow prime new hires and youll then embrace the suck that is working in proximity to all the brain dead prime drivers.

Atleast that's what a few wilson trainers have told me.

 

Western Flyer Express (WFX) has faced significant financial and operational challenges, highlighted by major lawsuits alleging fraud in their driver lease-purchase programs, leading to driver dissatisfaction, financial hardship, pay/benefit cuts after the IWX acquisition, and reports of losing freight and struggling with a downturned freight market.
