Seems as though FXNL will be getting back all the areas we used to run in the city. This could mean a lot to some centers and others it may not of had much of an effect on. All those areas we used to call "plus points" which we used to run and FXF currently does, we will be getting those back.

Zoots has it spot-on.. many FXNL 'exchange' points that have been directed to FXFE will once again be direct points.
This is opco specific, meaning if FXNL has a dest zip of BR549, FXNL will provide direct service. Likewise, if FXFE picks up a shipment for BR549 that they've always serviced sinced the acquistion, they will also provide direct service. Just an expansion of dual-served zips, with no exchange, like in many metro areas.
This allows for a larger marketing footprint for FXNL, albeit with perhaps higher operating costs for both due to lack of density.

I heard it straight out of my terminal managers mouth that our old P&D territory would return to close to the origianl size.

Will this actually effect linehaul drivers since we already interline so much between the two companies? Looks like it would only effect city drivers that are already at capacity.
In a sense it will effect some LH drivers. I don't think it will impact them much but it will actually take away from some of those really short runs like runs under 100 miles each way.
The drivers won't need to chase freight that is going to plus points any longer and they will only be getting their own frieght. Like I said it will not impact them much if any.

hmmmmm ....
FXN going back to a stand alone company.
I just wonder .... will there be a .... SOLD ... sign, since people find out after the fact that they were for sale.

Why would they give freight back to a company being sold? This doesn't make much sense to me but maybe I just don't see the big picture. Maybe YRC is buying us or even better maybe watkins is buying us back. The latter of the two would be a dream come true.

I don't have the answer, maybe it does not make sense, but buying watkins to haul freight to places that we were already hauling to at watkins cheaper rate does not make sense either ...
good luck

But it made their portfolio stronger and that does make sense. It gave customers more choices and that makes sense. It gave the company as a whole a bigger piece of the market and that to makes sense.
To me anyway...
