    I just looked and it is Con-Way. I know it was black and red and said XPO over the weekend. The paycheck view page is under construction and not view able. Maybe I got into a page that was in testing???

    It seems like I seen something like that too but it happened so quick that I really didn't pay attention. Our regional HR guy was in our house this morning and I asked about the paycheck view being under construction...to which he was oblivious. He did say the XPO officially takes over on Monday 11/1, he said no more Con-way hats, they are planning on giving us black "XPO" logo hats, same uniform for now, but a committee was working on the uniforms for the LTL people and they will be out soon! More to follow.....

    I guess you have never watched the movie WALL STREET. That is exactly why they bought it "to part it out" and steal the probably overfunded pension fund. When Gordon Gecko was asked "why are you breaking up a perfectly good airline with union concessions?" he replied "because its breakable"

    I've been noticing tons of XPO Logistics warehouses around town. They must have bought Jacobson somewhere along the way. Or Jacobson was owned by Norbert Dentressangle when XPO bought that company. They are under cover, though. XPO isn't on the building, just the paychecks.

    The former Con-way will certainly have plenty of freight to choose from.

    Good idea how they did that transitional logo. Is that a 33' pup?
