KNIGHT / SWIFT JUST BROUGHT U.S. XPRESS

Right. Even if you take all of the big, to bigger, to mega companies, cumulatively it makes up a small percentage. They just have deep pockets and that talks louder than anything else.

 

Or, 'a lot of seats to fill'.

 

To provide a counterpoint, we've also seen how this ambitious acquisition-minded CEO game goes in trucking, as well. It works until it doesn't, and one acquisition just goes terribly wrong, bringing the whole house down.

 

Anybody remember Yellow Corp., cira 1995?

 

Union.... Unions end up bleeding industry.

 

with most sitting at the truckstops, for days on end

 

Crazy. They could probably keep 1 truck manufacturer busy for an entire year. Maybe they’ll buy their own truck and trailer manufacturer next!

 

Gee, just like Consolidated Freightways?
Vertical integration.......that's where the smart money's at, boys.....

 

That’s if they’re not tearing up other trucks in said truck stops!
