    Based on some of the pre plans I’ve gotten lately, I think they might be drug testing the wrong people.

    Oddest thing I saw today was a Fed Ex driver on the side of the Ohio Turnpike, tires on the white line, back of Truck open and he was stomping on a couple of packages.

    WSJ article on how trucking mergers are heating up.

    Trucking Acquisitions Put New Spotlight on Fleet Values

    The Knight/Swift merger is forcing the other mega carriers keep up. I knew Heartland Express bought Gordon but I didn’t know they also bought IDC’s 1,350 trucks.

    When Crete eventually merges with Werner which corporate name survives? I’m betting on Werner. Crete is just the name of the town they started in. Also betting Winston Ostergaard gets a nice golden parachute and his handicap drops by six points.

    If Crete was forward thinking....NOT SO, they would put in a bid to take over May Trucking and or Killpack Trucking. Those Jackwads at CCC don't give a #### about drivers but rather there own retirement ie Golden Parachute so I would forecast a sellout to somebody else versus asset acquisition.

    I don't believe that... I know Heartland bought out Interstate. Post your reference on your claim ?
