    For the sake of the workers, I hope they keep Conway open. I have a current coworker who desperately thinks he is going to get a job there. I would not mind getting rid of that particular lunch counter super trucker.
    But who knows how it will all shake out in the end.

    I work in Joliet for Central States, asked the recruiter she said they've got around 25 trucks in Dallas, and they started from scratch last July. I forget what she said the terminal managers name was, but it was a lady. She spoke highly of her.

    Do they pay mileage or percentage on intermodal work? They are all over SoCal. I know they bought out Pacer. I am wondering if you can make a buck pulling their cans.

    Met an XPO driver here in Chicago just last week - said they've dwindled from 225 trucks in 2009 to 60 trucks today. The only reason he's still on he said is because hes been there so long and is on a pretty good dedicated run.

    They use to be the best around, now drivers avoid like the plague - in Chicago atleasrt.
