    Same here. So much bs with that company. If they don't have miles, you go to part time and lose your benefits. WTF? I gave them a year and told them to kick rocks.

    Lots of times, co's buy other co's just for the real estate (Lessors has 3) . Some years back, Western Express bought Smithway out of Ft. Dodge, Ia. Today, you don't see Smithway equipment on any highway. I remember when Swift bought Direct transit out of N. Sioux City, S.D. same thing, they gradually phased out their equipment. If Hirschback lets Lessors run as a separate co. but only share their freight, then you can believe their story about how great Lessors is. If Lessors equipment fades away, it's B.S.

    You were smarter than I was. They kept stringing me along with a few good loads when I would complain.

    Groendyke bought Schanno while i was there and i left shortly after along with a 100 or so owner ops.
    I think Lessors got in to deep with extreme probably lost millions due to covid and no live shows , on the same token Upstaging survived.
