What's new

XPO | Feedback from St. Louis SCM Conference

That's a big part of this. There is a history. We have lost a lot of good people over those years. It won't take things dipping much at all for a large group to completely freak out and scatter. And things are going to have to change. They have to.

How many will stick it out ? That's the $3 billion question.

your not alone on this,i would like to think they learned how far they can push us,with what went on with the union stuff,trust is earned not given,and it's much harder to get it back once you've lost it.he'll get the benefit of the doubt at first but at some point he needs to earn it

Change as in, the Con-way is not the XPO way. Things will change. There will be drama. People will leave. How many ? Dunno. They have done a good job keeping us in the dark.

I read an article yesterday that said that they are going to look at terminals to see if they make money or not, if they are great but if they are not they will try and get them to profit and if they still don't they will shut them down.

Just go to the article and then copy and paste the address from the address bar at the top of the screen. If you just copy and paste the article that's a violation of the author's copyright.

One thing I'd like to know ( after the meetings ) is: Who's in charge of what , and who reports to who?

We need an organizational flow chart. No one ( in management ) wants to comment on whose responsible for what. It could be arrogance or it could be they have no idea either.

With many being fired and XPO people settling in , it would be nice if there was a better flow of information.
 
Fed ex will be low balling the freight to make it awfully difficult to make this xpo deal to thrive. Good luck boys.
