If you look over any post here it is all about who would buy them or why would they buy them.Usually it's a big national carrier with lots of cash or something just itching to get bigger like yrc. But lets look at what got us in to this mess in the first place.Yellow instead of working to grow their business,takes the easy way out by acquiring the assets of another, hoping to profit from the sweat and effort of that company. They have in a way become the definition of a "gold digger". Then when "she" drains the poor sap dry,the old man gets kicked to the curb! Guys you have to earn it on your own or you never understand the value of your possessions.Remember the cost saving "synergies" that BZ raved about 5 years ago? They are done with realizing that savings and there's nothing left to milk.You dont expand your business by taking over your neighbors place because you both compete for the same slice of pie.You need to go to new markets for another new pie to divide up.Why cannibalize your own business. Walmart did not become a force untill they moved out of the south and expanded.McDonalds discovered that growth ended when they were on every other corner in America. Yellow/Roadway did that in the70's and our time has come and gone, now its time to sh** or get off the pot.If your going to buy the competition to expand,buy in a area where you previously did not exist.Can you say OLD DOMINION!! In my opinion the only smart thing would be a carrier that currently does not sevice the Northeast wanting npmf.Who is out there to fit this description?
