TForce | Is there need of another acquisition

The rumor flying around is ups is buying southeastern. Now southeastern is having a company wide meeting on monday and the drivers i have spoken with think that is what it will be about. Anyone heard such a rumor ?
 
they aint buying anybody are you kidding me what a joke and they sure aren't gonna buy anybody that's covered under a union contract because then they wouldn't be able to say take it or leave it like they did us!!!!!

Ups according 2 transport topics bought a polish pharmaceutical transpoort co.
 
We can't even get our shirt together. Management, equipment, facilities are a joke. We buy new equipment and do not maintain it. Managers are not capable of dispatching an ice cream truck. And the buildings most of us are in are way outdated. Yeah, I'd say we are in a buying mode.
 
...I have a freight shaker I can't even wash...such a pain....salt is a bitch to get off...you guys in New England what's the secret....when water is unavailable.

Why don't you look at the roses around you, people would love to have your job. Don't know how good it is until you get laid off or lose your job, believe me.

I have many years here. And this is not my first rodeo. It baffles me that they'll keep a junior member home and force the senior guys to do 12+hrs a day. As for myself I do not need any ot. But the guy who is young and with a family might appreciate at least 40hrs. UPS does not care about anything other than money. If you happen to crash the truck the first thing they are going to ask is hows the freight. Then fire your azz. BTW welcome!
 
if they buy southeastern it would be for their terminals and all the places we don't have terminals yet. In Texas their are several places that need terminal that we are using contractors to deliver the freight and do pickups and southeastern have terminals their.

Hey ol friend. Parcel uses our terminal as a meet point. So a couple of their guys ask us where do we wash our trucks. One of our guys replies we don't have a place. They reply so how do u guys wash ur trucks. Our guys responds have seen our trucks. Everyone erupts in laughter!
