    Yep, just read where Celadon acquired yet another company. It is Tango Transport this time. Best of luck to all of the Tango drivers and other employees at Tango.

    Where does Celedon get all this money? Are they the only company making huge profits?

    The man that owns Celadon is a business genius. He ignores the naysayers and does it his way. Interesting man to say the least; he collects Chinese porcelain and named his company after it.
    "Celadon definition, any of several Chinese porcelains having a translucent, pale green glaze."

    They also have Quality Lease who provides Lease/Purchases to a boatload of carriers. Strangely enough, Tango was one of those carriers they provided lease/purchase trucks to. Coincidence?

    He is a hoot. Met him at a NCTA conference few years back. While in a question and answer section , he says he suffers from CRAFT , Can't Remember A F****** Thing. Mrs Collins was moderating, turned all shades of red!

    Better to get lots of miles,at a few cents less, with new truck and trailer.
    Not many headaches,as a company driver at Celadon.
    Life is good!
