    Well the team and O/O friends have said they're waiting till first of the year then moving to another company. The team just bought a house and can't afford to just sit. Hopefully CFI hiring all the ex-Celadon drivers wont wont y'all miles.

    I'm sure things will.be fine. CFI has been here for many years. Feel comfortable that they won't shut down and that there's still plenty of. Miles to go round.

    Tfi the company that owns us. Stock has only gone up this year so I'm sure there's nothing for us to be concerned with any time soon :) too bad for Celadon

    Stocks may have gone up but TFI also own numerous other companies in Canada and the US. There is no guarantee. Look what happen to the original CFI they got sold to Conway then they got sold to XPO (who swore up and down that they weren't going to sell truckload and then they did). My husband worked for CFI for 7yrs before he moved companies. Before XPO stepped in Conway was a great company but after XPO it just went down hill in my opinion. We got tired of constantly sitting and always hearing freight is slow. Thankfully he found a company that works for us and keeps the wheel rolling.

    All due respect. I'm sure everything is fine. What works For One person may not work for the next. One bad experience with a company can change someone's entire view of the company... Unbiasedly looking at it. CFI seems to be in a decent spot. Not it's best but I don't think we're going anywhere either.

    I wasn't saying you guys were, I've just seen alot of drivers on FB complaining about miles and with them bringing over as many Celadon drivers as they have, I just worried that it would hurt the current driver's miles. That's been a big complaint in this groups is Why are they still hiring students and drivers when they cant even keep the current drivers rolling.

    LOL not unless TFI decides to sell y'all. I have heard that there was rumors of CFI and Transport America merging. We looked into Transport before we left CFI but solos mainly run East of I-35 and pay was less, not a fan of running only East Coast. The one thing I do miss about CFI is going to Canada, we really enjoyed going up there, except the time we broke down up there for a month. That was a nightmare
