Snackbar's new adventure at Moore Freight Services

Helps keep the neighborhood kids out of your yard too...

 

It was just announced via e-mail from corporate. Moore just became part of Wylie. Sounds like a similar merger as Moore/Daseke. Moore is keeping the Moore name, and Wylie will be Wylie. Not sure how the mix is gonna work, or how it's gonna effect the Moore employees, and according to the email, the details of this will be announced at a future time.

 

We had speculated that it was either being part of Wylie or being shut down entirely and some sort of agreement that the drivers could move to whichever Daseke company best suited them. Based on talking to other drivers today, it almost sounded like it was quietly orchestrated from Daseke HQ and was more or less a surprise during a Monday morning conference call.

If it means things stabilize as far as miles/freight and my pay rate doesn't change then I really don't care what name is on the door. After all, like everyone else doing this job, I am in it for the money.

actually, Mascot approved my move. I just hesitated because there are a few things I found out that I really don't like about Wylie...forced routing, forced fuel locations/amounts, no PC on elogs...hope they don't transition those policies onto us, if they do, there might be an abrupt exodus of Moore drivers.

 

The email also said other Daseke companies are merging. BTC merging with Hornady and Schilli becomes part of Lone Star. Hope this isn't an ominous sign of financial troubles in TX...

 

I would be surprised if didn't happen. 2 divisions, one that has PC, one that doesn't. One that is governed at 70, the other at 65. One that can fuel wherever whenever, the other that has a fuel and routing solution they have to abide by. They say nothing is gonna change on our end, but...I am a sceptic...I'll believe it when I see it.
