Docksteward said:My question is...........did FedEx buy them for the coverage, or to soak up the extra freight?? I thought FedEx Freight had all the coverage throughout the US?? I know in NC, we have both FedEx and Watkins in the same area. Someone has to go.DS.
mud-flap said:how big is watkins?? what part of the US do they cover??
Hey KK.......You are right but, I don't see FedEx playing the "share the freight" game on their quest to be #1. DS.Kennesaw Kid said:Hmmm....you also have Yellow & Roadway in NC too!....KK
yeah they'll need something to do, like count cash.Right Turn Clyde said:Watkins is only selling the Watkins Motor Lines division. As far as I know they are not selling our other trucking companies such as Highway Transport, Landspan, and Sunco.
Heck the Watkins family will need something to do after they sell off the big money maker.
local61man said:will the same happen to watkins as it did to american freightways by doing away with the watkins logo?
local61man said:i may be hiring on at watkins part-time in the next week,i just wonder what will happen to me. lay-off,position cut out,etc.
Is there a FedEx Freight Center near-by?local61man said:i go and sign on this coming tuesday. they told me that i will get about 15-20 hours a week,but its a small terminal,so it looks like a gamble.
