    Penske announced that it came to an agreement last month to purchase Epes. The deal will close in a couple of weeks.

    well Penske does have a logistics division, much as Ryder has one as well.

    now comes the questions, will the drivers be "fired" as epes employee's, and "re-hired" as penske employee's?

    or, will penske let the managers operate the company, same ole, same ole.

    this should also boost penske truck/trailer sales to epes as well.

    Isn't epes in a merger with tx star or some company in TX. Or did epes buy them out?
