Was told that central transport was helping Allvan clear out remaining frt and at Indy we have picked up a half dozen loads of frt that was swung off of their already loaded trailers from various customers.
Holland should gain quite a bit of business with Alvan closing.
Western Michigan was a strong area for both Alvan and Holland.
Alvan stated on their website freight was being given to Central transport
Central Transport here in the Northeast does not have a good reputation.I doubt they will pick up much of the freight going up here.Most customers want there freight on time and that is not something C.T.does very well...I have seen freight sit on customer docks for days that is routed at the 'other' end not time sensitive...My wife got a shipment of packing supplies,four pallets freight collect shipped from Chicago to NE pa It took eight days and the charges were $75.How they even stay in business is a wonder by itself...Alvan stated on their website freight was being given to Central transport

Didn't we close some terminals out East? We were told that New Penn would deliver that area. I know we are giving them our freight going to those areas, but I don't see much reciprocation.
My thought was that we should have been getting this freight all along. Arent we part of the same company? Also Michigan was Alvans stronghold, but isn't it ours as well? (even the mid-west in general). I'm just trying to figure out why we give them our freight, but we only got what Alvan did not cover? That doesn't seem right to me.Also NPME has been giving us freight that Alvan did not cover. We picked it up in Buffalo terminal next door. Now we will get what ever Alvan was getting into the midwest.
No we did not close any terminals in the East. And we have been giving NPME freight going to areas we do not deliver. Also NPME has been giving us freight that Alvan did not cover. We picked it up in Buffalo terminal next door. Now we will get what ever Alvan was getting into the midwest.

That's interesting. Nashville driver told me he talked to sales rep from Alvan who (oh that's right) knew Alvan was closing and took his auto parts customers to Yellow. No kidding guys. Yesterday as a matter of fact. So he could work for Yellow and have a job of course.Alvan stated on their website freight was being given to Central transport

I believe it :toxic:, it's got to be true, if a driver told another driver that his cousin's neighbor's friend knows a guy that used to own a pick-up truck just like the one he saw parked in the Wendy's close to an Alvan terminal, what's not to believe. It's true fact, it has to be.
Yes but!did that pick-up have tinted windows?
