Doesnt hurt at all. I never worked for CF. And the last part isnt gone. It is just going to change its name again.
XPO | Just my thought on the end of Conway as we know it.
- Thread starter Conway Lifer
- Start date
XPO didn't have anything to do with it either, what is your beef then?
...except everything got worse for their employees!
I have worked at many trucking companies, and never have I seen an atmosphere like that of conways.....it's like we are a brother hood. ...Atleast at my terminal it is.....i love my job.....And I love this company.....it's funny how the people who hated it are appreciative of the things that conway has to offer.....everyday I pray for a miracle to throw this deal out the window and keep this company the way that it is now and work towards a bigger and even better conway freight.
Good luck drivers....

Wahhhhhhh!!!
......perfectly said my friend.
Dude **** off you're just jealous we make more money then you
I agree with almost everything you posted but the part at the end. I have supported my family for 12 years working here. I appreciate the oppurtunity to work for a good wage everyday and I appreciate the respect I am shown by my peers and I hope that I can finish out my working life here. I do not however want the sale to not go through. The people running this company are incompetent and need to go. I feel like we have a chance to grow and be great again under new leadership and as part of a new company.

I'm in a very big barn. I can't say I get along with everyone. I can't even say I know everyone's name. But I can say that I am happy to finally have the opportunity to be better.
Nearly all of our competitors are showing double digit growth. With inferior resources. I think that's bull :
: . If you ain't FedEx or UPS ( they are just in another league ) we should be able to be competitive on any piece of freight.

Stop being petty. You are just feeding the trolls.

Glad you feel that way Mr. Daher. I hope you can manage to channel your energies into a bigger and even better XPO.

According to news releases. The whole of Con-way will be combined with an unknown subsidiary of XPO and rebranded XPO Logistics. Not sure if we are being added to something like Pacer or something like JB Robinson. But we will find out soon enough.
I know I'm probably beating a dead horse so to speak,with any of you who have made the choice to whine about the past.
I myself worked for 15 different LTL's over a 45 year trucking career.
Everyone of those are out of business,other than my last company Overnite who was rebranded,into UPS Freight.
I was able to retire in 2008 with 2 pretty good pensions,a little over 20 with the Teamsters,the rest non-union.
Reflecting back to how the trucking industry was in serious decline,I know it was a blessing that UPS bought out Overnite.
As far as crying over the companies that dropped out,including Corn Flakes, who I worked for part-time,dock,& city.
Who I may say had the worst equipment of any of the companies I worked for.
It is really a non-productive activity reflecting into the past.
As my Apostolic faith practices,once as short as one second passes it is gone forever,we can only live moment by moment.
You must have heard this before.
Yesterday is history,tomorrow is a mystery,today is a gift,that is why it is called the present.
So as an old time trucker I can only offer positive advice from experience.
Every breath is a gift,you never know what any day will bring,do your best & don't worry about the rest.
Worrying about things you have no control over,is like rocking in a rocking chair.
You may be moving,but you are not going anywhere!

CF treatment: Let the employees go home for a holiday weekend without telling everyone the company was no longer. The management running the company into the ground on purpose then jumped ship leaving everyone behind to get off the best way they could.
