    Heard they laid off all Kingman IWX drivers recently, then offered being re hired under western flyer for less money and fewer benefits.

    Sounds like a great work environment.
     
    Flat Earth Trucker Thanks this.

    So IWX is going away for good? Do you work there now?

    I don't think IWX and Western Flyer Express are the same companies.
     
    Flat Earth Trucker and Lonesome Thank this.

    I don’t see an issue. Sometimes the new owners allow the newly acquired outfit to operate independently, but most do not. At least the drivers have an opportunity to get re-hired. WF could’ve simply laid all the drivers off with a simple “Best of luck in your future endeavors” note.

    Thank you @Lonesome , I can always depend on you to have your finger on the pulse of the American trucking industry. Thank you for always being there to set me straight when I have wandered off the path of truth and start wallowing in the cesspool that are my own thoughts and speculations. The world, and by default myself, owe you a debt of gratitude. Allow me to send you an autographed picture of Inga on the trampoline as a gesture of thanks and goodwill.

    I'm jealous and feeling left out, I could use some of that too.

    Let me check my supply, friend, and see if we can get some good vibes headed your way!

    Or were you referring to a certain photograph, of a nameless Scandanavian, on a piece of excercise equipment....
