Lol....i doubt this will happen within the next 10yrs. I work for another rival ltl outfit and con-way is a very steady marketable profit making outfit. They'll be in the last 4 standing.......fedex, ups, con-way, and old dominion.........the rest well be memories.

I wouldn't put any money on UPS, they're paying way above NMFA standards since their freight drivers are covered under the parcel driver's contract. I don't think UPS will go on losing money in the freight business and propping it up with parcel forever. I'd say that the 4 remaining will be Fedex, Con-way, OD and Estes.
 
Estes already owns all of YRC's equipment and terminals. They literally lease it all back to YRC. Estes has been is negotiations to take over Holland. Through purchase or swap or whatever they call it in the accountants meetings. Very busy. And we have lost several drivers to them recently.

I would ask a CF driver if he believes Con-way will be here in 10 years. You might hear something you should already know.
 
UPS - FedEx - OD - Estes.

You forget that UPS and FedEx bundle that freight and parcel together to offer complete logistics solutions to specific top notch companies.

OD and Estes have fully reinvested in themselves. No outside carriers making money pulling their freight. And their drivers are drivers.

I have never heard that about the equipment or taking over Holland until now. I know the terminal lease thing is true,but the rest sounds like a stretch.

Wish I had links to back it up. A little web search might do that. Just repeating things I have read over the last several months.
