    The combined business now holds about 2% of the highly fragmented market, according to estimates by the SJ Consulting research group, which said the biggest 25 carriers by revenue split only 13% of the market.

    That was a pragmatic approach to retirement and now it pays off.
    Wish all drivers would do that with even a minimal amount of savings into a retirement account each payday.

    Thanks Chinatown. I had a mission that I worked for. After all theses years, and what happened yesterday at Abilene, no one will control my future except me. If all stays the same, then I stay. Some change will be inevitable, we shall see. Thanks for all the work you out in on this site.

    it is only a matter of time, with these buyouts, the major holder of the company doing the purchases will go bankrupt, or sell off way too many assets of the purchases.
