    I left before xpo bought Conway, but still talk to folks from time to time and everyone I've talked to is kinda holding their breath to see what shakes out...

    Ultimately, I suspect the overhaul will be good for shareholders and not so great for employees/drivers. I don't think XPO wants to keep truckload, but the market turned sour just after their purchase of Conway and its a bad time to try to sell a trucking company.

    Was through there like 2 months ago driver, there was quite a few, there is also trucks at the W.Memphis terminal like 3 weeks ago same thing. I checked around some and as I suspected there from drivers that had turned their keys in. Oh and if you remember Ruthie from W.Memphis she gone to, like back around earliest part of the year what I been told. She always trying to get you a good load if you had a low mile week.

    Where the hell did xpo come from anyway? They seemed to have a couple trucks moving rail cans then all of a sudden they buy one of the largest ltls?
