    Correct, no one wants to do BC at all (Cost of Fuel, No showers, No parking, Most Malicious CVSE/RCMP in Canada, #### Roads with Insane Drivers). The companies that have established terminals in Calgary/Vancouver, are using that lane to keep their companies going. My former outfit, is throwing everything they can at BC, and its working.

    No, I guess since its a division of TFI, it doesn't really qualify as news?

    All the people in Calgary are gone, and the terminal is empty, no equipment either. bunch of the trucks and trailers over at Canadian Freightways. I would imagine they're gonna keep the name active, and just add it to the TST/CF lineup. They definitely let everyone go tho, the Kindersley/HWT resumes are starting to show up at the dump truck company, and I guess my former LTL outfit, didn't hire anyone that applied, but had everyone apply from drivers to the terminal manager.

    Yeah, easy enough to absorb the freight traffic into the existing network.

    I kinda thought an industry site would have a mention of it. I don't doubt you at all that they shut down..you would know being right there and knowing the calgary market.

    I don't see any of those trucks on my run. Usually TFI, bhullar, GFS and Rosenau

    No worries, I'm over doing dump trucks now, so this is all third hand info to me as well.

    Calgary and Kindersley SK, I seen the Calgary one in person. The Kindersley guys we hired at the LTL company, confirmed this did happen.

    Calgary yard is for lease ready for immediate possession so clearly it wasn’t condemned. There’s 2 other trucking companies that are still tenants. Haha. Don’t believe everything ex employees tell ya.
