My friend heard a dispatcher at a small CF terminal say on the phone to a potential customer "we don't do that but Conway does", then gave the caller Conways number. Also CF hauled the heavy low paying freight and Conway hauled the lighter high paying freight. All that was coordinated.
My friend says it's not crying, it's constructive criticism.
Happened right in front of my eyes and ears also.

The name is CON-WAY, and just so you don't make a fool of yourself con-way and cf didn't share any terminals. If you belive everything you hear on 19 you should not need to drivew a truck as you are already wealthy.

Now that you bring that up, I use to have lunch with CF guys quite often(roadway guys were to good to eat with us
)and said the same thing, "we don't go there, call our "sister" company". Before the spinoff, in NY they wouldn't pickup anything for New England and south until NC. They also stayed on the same computer system and the CF salesmaen would catch how conjob would go after the CF accounts but the onion salesmen were able to hack their accounts too, until conjob got wise and put a block on them. Of course conjob could still get the information they needed. Plus the payroll was done by conjob for I think 25 Million a year till about the end. The one guy pointed out that all the conjob trailers had the same numbers as CF only they added 1 # infront. You could certainly see that they had been transfered. I remember he showed me once the regestration on a new pup trailer, CF made their own but at spinoff conjob got road systems, anyways the cost was $15,000. 12-13 years ago for a pup, seemed just a tad high.
In Buffalo the last couple of monthes they went crazy buying new Macks and such to pull double 48's down the thruway. The one guy went to work for conjob afterwards and said would you believe I got the same employee # as at CF!
Yeah, no tie ins there, except all the cash changing hands, imho naturally!
If the damn onion had stopped the conjob deal everyone would be counting down the days to collecting their "full" pension in 30 and out(onion officials excluded, they still are)!

Why should they share when they got them for free! conjob didn't get that big, that fast, with new equipment in 10-15 years picking blueberries!!!
When your right.
Future? Did someone mention, future? Oh let's see where should I start?
A con job is a con job by any name you choose. I never said they shared any terminals either, I said they were sold at extremely below market value with no other bids considered. And if you want to call me a fool why don't you go back and read the misspelled words in your post. Looks to me like a fool who does not know how to use spell check posted this.
Springfield Mass. to name one quickly.
Well thanks for setting that straight, I stand corrected on that one. I was local cartage at that time trying to be good father of 3 small kids. My point to the other poster was the no bid, lying, deceptive,, no good &*^%## con job started from. No one is going to tell me these things didn't happen when we who worked there saw it first hand.
