    AAA Cooper is now a subsidiary of Swift. South Eastern? As in South Eastern Freight Lines? If that's the case, go with them. For one they are stable, for the other, nothing good comes from big mega trying to acquire LTL. Look what happened with Schneider and Watkins Sheppard.

    I'm home I tell you what if you guys can work through the years, best line haul job out there is GFS transit of course I am bias, but I tell if you can take the years of doing food service delivery and can get a transit bid, it's not bad work at all.

    Gotta bump this a little.


    Been at my current position now for a year. Still enjoying it , mostly.

    Found out this week that Dayton Freight has purchased Valley Cartage. Change is our only constant.

    An 11:00 start blows, but that’s to be expected for the bottom of the list. You can change that in due time.

    If I were you, I would go with OD.

    All I have to say about last night is...plow truck slid off the road and stuck in the middle, and I had an empty set.

    Decompress with me in the parking lot, because...BOY have I been concentrating for some hours.

    Almost time to be home with the family.

     
    misterG, Cardfan89, MACK E-6 and 2 others Thank this.

    Hi guys, kind of a slowish week for me, two double runs and three single runs, usually I do three four doubles and one single, but that didn't happen.
    Always something, had a tractor swap yesterday and my day driver accidentally hit a concrete pylon and did some good damage to the bottom step on our tractor, so now I have to call the shop to get that fixed. I did go to Akron twice this week, that's the only thing that saved the week, which was cool, because I like going to Akron, it's kind of far, but not to far and the yard is easy to get in and out of for the most part it's good. Alright that's all I have.
     
    The Shadow Thanks this.
