    Well the Keen drivers were informed Yesterday that after 46 years. Keen Transport was sold to an aquisition company called (Platinum Equity) out of California. The scary thing about this sale is that this company has never owned a trucking company. Bill Keen will stay on as CEO, but I bet the old man is rolling over in his grave.

    Hopefully the "management fees" for Platinum don't come out of the paychecks and the benefits of the drivers, but I am sure they will HAVE TO understand if they do... :biggrin_2553:

    Beware of corporate suits in search of profits. They are scary, dangerous, and should be avoided at all costs. Its still illegal to kill them, but it shouldn't be.:biggrin_25519:
