US Express Shuts Down Charlotte Terminal

Usx shuts down terminals and reopens new ones all the time. They don't feel like they need to be positioned in that area anymore. The fleet message we got was that just the shop was no longer available.


They are far from any financial problems as well. I dont think many people realize what a financial powerhouse usx is.

 

SCHNEIDER did the same thing to the Seville,OH OC.

 

Lanes and contracts fluxed

 

Makes sense. Why would you keep a terminal open if you don't do a ton of business in said area. For example. Say you have a huge contract with a company, and said company closes or moves. Why would you continue to do business in that area if you just lost say 75% of your commerce??

 

The only way to close a business location is with zero notice. Any other option invites disaster. I have been through it from the management perspective a number of times and early notification is stupid and gets ugly for the company, employees and customers. I know it sucks but that is the way it is.

 

they had a nice yard in springfield and moved just down the road to a smaller and more cramped yard.always wondered why they did that?the new facility didnt look like it had driver conviences like the other facility

 

Your talking about the old Medway, Ohio terminal and that place was a dump. The new one in Springfield is technically smaller . Springfield has plenty driver conveniences. Full laundry room, TV rooms, kitchen area, showers with heated floors. Plenty of conveniences.
