Any word on expanding?
i think they should take a break on the acquisitions for a bit. they keep partially blaming the bad operating ratio on the companies we bought last year. let the accounts build back up and intergrate the lanes to MFS and Connection Co. as well. alot of carriers are offering next day service to those points, wheras we offer 2 day service.
I bet that’s a great selling point to the customers!! Not only does it come damaged but it takes a extra day to get there!
Well spoken DC. This comes on the heels of Southeastern getting the contract with Valspar from Saia. Three different Lowes stores told me it was a delivery thing. Their paint was delivered before 10:00am Thursday. GNC could not get the paint offloaded onto their own dock before 11"00am, then it had to ride to the Lowes stores, usually getting to the stores from 12:00 to 4:00 pm. BUT WE'RE SAVING MONEY BY GOLLY. So what if we lose an account or two?

When did Southeastern take over Valspar? I have yet to see any paint yet. On the other hand as a ex Saia employee. I do believe that Saia needs a terminal in Wilmington,nc.
all of our valspar at jcy comes in on an outside carrier by truckload usually the day before or really early in the am and we take it strait to lowes
HEY HEY HEY NOW!! We have the best management available to the industry and if you don’t believe me just ask them!! Plus everyone knows you make money by saving money!!!
Ahh love that Topsail area it is starting to grow since they put that bypass in.
you guys know the dock guys will use those logistics bars correct ha ha ha we get trailers in from memphis that look like a tornado picked them up and spun them around then threw them on the ground if they would be as strict on the dockworkers as they are on drivers it would stop alot of damages what im trying to say is we put a scratch on one of these worn out turds safety wants to fire us for it but a dockworker can damage a 20,000.00 piece of machinery and they tell them ah thats ok just dont do it again
