Kag just bought action resources

It’s funny because superior just got bought last year by Olympus/heniff and we lost a dispatcher out of Pasadena who went back to action resources to dispatch.

I wonder what’s going through his mind right now, 2nd straight year he will be going through a buy out, wow!!!!

 

I heard a rumor that person may be trying to come back to Pasadena.

Seems like there's increasingly no safe place frankly. All of this consolidation is starting to remind me of when I was working in IT back in the early 00's and all of the big national banks started buying up the smaller regional and local banks and then merging w/ each other leaving us w/ the mega-banks we have now - Chase, Citibank, Bank of America. Personally I had one too many bad experiences w/ Citi and BoA years ago and ended putting all of our money into a local credit union and never looked back. Seems like that may be the way to go in trucking. Find a small to mid-sized regional / local company that's big enough to pay well and maintain descent equipment but small enough to stay under the radar. I suppose that's easier said than done though.

 

When did that happen ?

 

Yeah I seen that I’m surprised they sold out. They were big into the herbicide down here.

 

I've been wondering when Trimac would make a move to buy something but so far I haven't heard a peep. Maybe it has something to do with them being a Canadian outfit and the challenges they would face with an international merger are just too much.

 

They bought Gibson oilfield. Trimac has a headquarters in Houston tx also.
