R14 Did't this Carr have something to do with Roadway services and ran them into the ground?

I wouldn't call it ran them into the ground, bought out by Fedex that's the only decent stock I have left, rolled from Roadway Services to Caliber to Fedex shares. RPS turned into FedEx Ground Viking survived as the basis of FedEx Frieght. Spartan and Coles got the shaft.
