    To be such a big company I've never heard of them before.

    Gotcha, I thought they "rebranded" as RPO or something? Doesn't matter. Just another big worthless lousy logistics, brokerage whatever they are.

    They beat me out of reimbursing a $104 lumper fee several years ago when they were "XPO". I'm not the kind of driver who doesn't have his paperwork in order either. I still hold a grudge over that and a few other things that happened. It was BS that they basically stole my $104. They're a transactional broker, not someone you'd actively try to work with on the regular. I don't think those kind of brokers truly exist anymore if they ever really did. Anyway, if you're ever in a scenario where they need you make sure you break one off in them because they deserve that. And thanks if you do, lol.

    Their Memphis warehouse is right across the street from our terminal. Usually in that area you see more can hauling than anything else!
    The only thing I can surmise is that the downturn in the freight market probably did them in!
