    Sad to see an old line carrier hit the skids but this is a tough business and only the tough and lean survive ...lots of things go into that .
    I'm sad these people lost their
    Jobs but they will find new jobs .
    Saia bought up my company and the world didn't end ...I switched gears and embraced a new mode ...NYC .
    Life is about change .

    What was the environment like ? How was the job? I hate to see an old carrier like that go out. I’ve driven alongside you guys for years in the northeast. Loved that paint scheme and color combo. Very distinctive. As hard as it is to get a business started like this to this scale and in this area, we may not see another in our life time.
     
    speedyk and Mike2633 Thank this.

    I heard my company just scooped up a couple of NEMF drivers to work P&D at my terminal. I think the timing was good for those guys--they weren't unemployed very long at all and they'll have a much better deal at Dayton Freight.
     
    McUzi, speedyk, USMC 3531 and 4 others Thank this.

    I noticed a few Nemf units and an empty eastern unit on the road last week in PA and Ohio ...moving to auction sites I suppose .

    Good deal! I’m sure they’ll have an ultimately better compensation package at Dfl.

    I saw the same as well. One night last week I must have seen 15 or more bobtail Nemf trucks heading westbound on the PA like.
