    I’m glad you know how to read.... geez... I’m sick of people like you telling us what the “writing on the wall is”. Yes; we are going thru a lot of changes to recover from the mismanagement when we owned Quality: but, we are slowly working our way thru that and those of us we aren’t listening to you “who knew the writing was on the wall” 2 years ago and since..are doing pretty well: Thank you very much!
    I just drove one of our test trucks: 2019 Cascadia to deliver it to one of our local accounts that will be running it for the next couple months to see how it performs.. we are in the preparation stage of getting new equipment this year.. doesn’t sound to me like we are doing so bad; does it?
    You don’t know.
    You can’t predict.
    Don’t worry about us who are trying to stick it out and come out on the other side: I’ve stuck it out the last 2 years and have done pretty well for myself...
    Thank you for you “insight” tho...

    I used to see Celadon trucks constantly in Indiana. Now you don’t see that many. Doesn’t mean they are going under though. Time will tell I guess. Wish I’d have bought stock at 75 cents.

    What are the details of it? How many years or hoops you gotta jump through?

    Sign on bonuses generally only appeal to people who job hop anyway. So kinda is like shooting yourself in the foot if your the company and actually pay it up front.

    You guys told me that 2 years ago and guess what? I’m still here waiting for “dooms day”” as you all said I would be a part of. Instead, I’ve stayed and become part of the solution for us becoming solvent again. We haven’t even had to go into a bankruptcy reorganization in the 2 years we have been working on this. And; I’ve made more $$$ than ever in my 18 years out here and almost 10 years with Celadon. I am sticking it out. I have access to $$ if I need to get home; but, I don’t see that anywhere in our future here; yet.. and I’m a part of this comparably. Are you??????
