    They wanted Menlo and maybe the intermodal division but they wouldn't sell one without the others. Heard a rumor they were going to try and sell Conway Freight off to UPS Freight after the acquisition.

    No part of the senior management team will go to xpo, stated that in announcement. Xpo will use the minlow logestics, and the freight yards for last mile shipping in combination with their french company, conway stiock was flat for the past couple of years and it was cheaper to buy it all,

    So any of us drivers left Conway Truckload yet?..lol...If so where have you gone and are you happy there thus far? How about that new forced routing/ fuel stops starting Nov. 1,2015, it was sent fleetwide via QC? Got any comments about it all?

    Nobody knows what will happen, so am taking a "wait & see" position. XPO may or may not sell us according to WSJ. Think about this, why would fuel & route become mandatory NOW? Stated purpose was to improve 2015 goals-it takes effect in November tho....with a small window until year end.....hmmmm.

    Conway Truckload is in a position where no one in the front office knows what they want too do. In my opinion with fuel at its cheapest price in half a decade why utlilize this now. Personally im not going too follow it. I dont have time too be asked how much fuel i have and tell me where i can fuel at and i do not need a desk jockey too trip plan for me. Im one of those drivers that gets it there by the route i know is safe and productive as well as being in time. Im trying too hold off till the end of the year but im close too turning in the keys.
