    I been seeing a few posts about vitran shutting down the SE region and also that they might be shutting down the US ltl division.

    Any one hear any rumors about what is going on?

    I work for central transport and central is planning on keeping them separate as of right now. No plans to combine as of yet but yea goodbye routine maintenance for vitran.

    Technically we weren't sold to Central but the holding company that owns Central. But I can't imagine they will keep 2 LTL companies...
