Swift buys Midwest Motor Express for $150 million

crap that’s gonna be a lot of business for aaa cooper. I’d imagine they’ll drop SEFL as a partner now

 

I've turned passing them into a game where I guess how many warning lights and red lights are showing on their dashboard before I become parallel to the driver side window. I've been seeing an average of 3 warning lights and the occasional red light on just about every truck I pass. The lane detection one doesn't count. I tend to drive with it turned off in mine.

 

Dayton freight ought to buy Southeastern freight lines and make their way to Texas.

 

MME had a few drivers quit once they found out. I’m sure more will quit once KS starts doing there thing.

 

I’m a little nervous working for swiftyswift too. Thinking of going to Crete and taking a break from ltl

 

Seems like you bored with LTL. Been there done that. Quit LTL to go regional. Missed being home everyday so went back to LTL. Lol

 

I’ve been doing the same route for 5ish years, which is fantastic for efficiency and being safe. I know every road/alley in the city I can or can’t drive/fit on, but it does become mundane.

 

Even running OTR becomes mundane, sometimes you need a good vacation or take a day off every once in a while.

 

I thought the same thing. Then I got to experience making deliveries in Cleveland/Detroit/St Louis and I wished I was in LTL again. My point is…grass ain’t always greener. But you gonna do whatever you want.

 

To buy Pitt Ohio it would be much more expensive then AAA Cooper do to the Northeast Foot Print. There would much overlapping with Dohrn and MME so they would end up needing to close/Merge terminals. Pitt has been expanding itself with Ross Express in New England. They just sold their stake in ECM to Werner. That was rumored to pay off what they owed the Dorhn family.
