US Xpress finally buys out Arnold, only Grand Prairie to remain "Arnold"

What are the mpg standards and how realistic are they without APUs?

 

How is the sound system in there? Is there enough room? Weren't you and your wife running team?

 

Arnold is supposed to be doing their own payroll and accounts in GP. The sound system is bland honestly. Im not really sure what the threshold is for their mpg targets

 

10-4. I had heard they lacked a CD player. I turned one down due to lack of room for wife & I. I was psssed by one this morning and my on guard showed it at 66.

 

Austell will be next due to Ellenwood terminal being close by. Jax is also down to a skeleton crew, extended coverage is gone. Won't be long until it's just a drop yard

 

Saturday was my last day. Wish them the best. They seem to be on the right track, just not my cup of tea

 

Well just like any other larger merger with companies you have to look at the profitability of each individual terminal. If they are not bringing in the business they should, it will most likely merge in to a smaller and centralized area. Everyone expected them to downsize Arnold's terminals by 35% upon acquisition. I don't know how this is a shocker to anyone. Sorry to see people lose their jobs, but I don't know how anyone really thought that a company like US Xpress was not going to come in and do a profit analysis to make them the most money.

Not everything is full of rainbows and unicorns.
