    We had two other guys, but they dissapeared one was from Georgia the other was from Plant City, FL the Georgia guy was a chain driver and the Plant City guy was a broadline guy like me. For a while I was the only one, well the only one posting anyhow.

    You'd think there'd be several of us. We just had a guy transfer from glazier and one from Atlanta. Haven't had the chance to talk to them yet.

    Are they still calling it Glazier or is Glazier now fully integrated? Is Perkins integrated too as well? Perkins looks like GFS Canada the equipment is all totally different, I thought Perkins was GFS Canada there fleet looks like GFS Ontario.

    Everything is integrated. I would assume the only one that isn't is red diamond, for obvious reasons. I'm pretty sure Perkins is a u.s. division. I could be wrong. I think it's N.E. Stateside

    It is they call it North East Division but there fleet doesn't fit the typical GFS mold I think they took over the lease on that equipment and we're kind of stuck with it.

    Sounds about right.
    I know when we took over glazier, they were running Petes. I would assume those were leased. Kinda wonder if they have any left.

    Word was they were green Petes automatics very unGFS like I'm thinking most of those are probably gone now.

    Northeast though there equipment is lots of freightliners lots of 36' trailers lots of lift gates. I think it was a lease take over and they said oh what the heck will stick with it.

    Even Aberdeen, MD has a lot of the standard stuff, but they do have a few one off pieces and a couple strange rental pieces here and there.

    GFS Canada has all the cool stuff but GFS Canada is its own thing almost not even the same company and every province is its own thing Canada is structured differently corporate wise and obviously there tied into the company somehow, but Its different because they seem to operate by there own rules.

    However like Florida and Georgia they seem to even be breaking away some Florida has a lot of single screw tractors and a lot of non standard stuff here in the Midwest the stuffs all pretty standard but once you start going into newer territories or territories further away because Florida isn't new by any means stuff starts looking foreign.
