    Naw it was a line in the company quarter financial report.

    Then again I just skimmed.

    Did get a Qualcomm message saying Lancaster fuel pumps were both down then repaired while in Illinois though!

    :puke: Lancaster terminal.

    Ah I see now. "Corporate and Eliminations" is kind of a catch-all category in their 10Q filing. It includes "the company’s trailer manufacturing unit as well as other corporate activities." They aren't eliminating Con-Way manufacturing -- the "eliminations" part covers things like sale of property (they reported a $5,600,000 gain from sale of corporate properties in 2013).

    Interesting to note the trailer portion of the business is operating at a larger loss this year despite an extra $1,000,000 in revenue:

    Makes me wonder how much of that is just paper/tax loss, because as far as trailer production cycles, now seems to be the time to make hay:

    Also noted this:

    Not that it matters much to me since I was part of that spike, but how about standing behind your word and giving remaining drivers that forthcoming raise they've been promised for the last 2 years?

    Ended up playing footsies with an underage girl in the hot tub....whoops.

    Well technically it was just us pushing each others feet legs out so the jet wouldn't push us off the seat. Still a lot of wiggling going on though.

    Hey! She looked a lot older until her mom came in! XD ....she was hot too!
