    I used to think the same thing when I was hauling 25000 pounds of scrap aluminum around. Would not have been surprised to find a trailer door open during my morning walk around....never did though.

    That's what the article seems to say, but honestly, I have never heard of Walden Smokey Point. But the article says SPD was a division of them...I'm confused by the whole story.

    E.W. Wylie sold to Walden Smokey Point

    E.W. Wylie will continue to be operated independently, with the trucking company headquarters remaining in West Fargo. “This transaction will enable us to leverage the considerable industry expertise that exists between our flatbed and heavy-haul trucking business, Smokey Point Distributing, and that of E.W. Wylie,” says Don Daseke, CEO of Walden Smokey Point. “Smokey Point and Wylie will work together to better serve all customers.”
