From what I've heard and read, Jacobs has advertised that he'll be "showing more love" to the drivers. And making those types of cuts goes against what he's said. And from what I gather, XPO has their pay and benefits structure, and the former Conway crew has theirs. So he might bring the long time XPO employee's package UP, but I doubt highly that he will bring the former Conway crew DOWN to match the lesser package of XPO's.
It's a driver's market out there nowadays, and he doesn't seem to be stupid enough to make cuts and lose his existing bread and butter money makers........the drivers.
Just my opinion.
