    Another acquisition to lower their crash-to-truck ratio. Lol

    I actually don’t think Bison is nearly as bd as Swift are they? I’ve not seen them spread all over the highway like some companies.

    I didn’t make any comparison to Swift. Bison however does appear on that Skilled Truckers page a lot more frequent than one would expect from a carrier who claims to be one of North America’s safest fleets.

    Hartt, Pottles...... My next bet is R.F. Chamberlain (St. Agatha).... Corner the market on box haulers in Maine.... Move their fleet in and kick Prime out of the McCains French fry hauling business in Easton.

    R.C. Moore & H.O. Bouchard are the last 2 "big" Maine family owned companies left.

    Moore will be next….. Bouchard is probably safe because no one wants to haul bulk regionally……..

    You should keep your crappy companies on your side of the border . Pay extra attention to the $20 a hour wage ……

    Sure am glad no one wants to do what I do.
    Even if I did lose a testicle to radiation a month ago! (I never wanted kids anyway.)

    @Cat sdp - heard from a bud who recently spoke with one of my ex-slip seaters from my time at RC. Apparently they were approached by Bison and Richard, the old man, said no. Took his stake in the company and sold it to the employees. I'm sure this pissed off Kelly & Shawn (his sons who also have stake in the company)... My bud says he was told that Kelly hasn't been around the shop in about 9 months. Lol.
