    Also if any of you are in the Indianapolis area Marten has a terminal in Zionsville. They do have some dedicated Coke accounts out of there.

    there is such a thing when one considers that capitalism isn't sustainable when it's predicated only on continued growth and resources dry out...then onto the next thing. in that vein, investors can and will act in the same way--tap out a dying company.

    re: magic pile of wealth to be carried off--there's the hard way of hard work and long hours or the easier way such as the execs of celadon tried--which is some fancy accounting. works great until it doesn't--shareholders started bailing long ago.

    any who, this is moot atm as we are hearing what's unfolding this weekend and where celadon will be by next week.

    good luck to all you drivers out there stranded. i'm in oak creek, wi for the weekend. if you need some shower credits at the loves or some food, hmu on here.

    In this case it was a bunch of bad decisions by the higher ups that led up to the company’s current state.

    I knew there was a possibility of this happening: for over 2 years, now... but, it’s still so hard.. I’ve been here for 10 years! I am going to get some rest, then try to figure out where to go from here. I’m not stranded.. I don’t think anyone will be; I have savings and a car here in Indy, but, I’m upset and crying my eyes out as only a girlie girl can do!

    I wouldn't recommend CFI, my husband worked there for 7yrs before coming over to Crete and it was constantly having to fight for miles. I have friends still over there solos and teams. Solos are struggling to get 2000 miles and my friends who are teams are only getting 3500 miles a week
