No, they sure don't. Our FOS's here in XGR got an email saying that "all material with the Conway logo needs to be removed from your workplace before Monday morning. (Nov. 2nd)" pens, note pads, mouse pads, posters on the wall. Everything blue. In the dumpster...

I really like the look of the new logo.
Culture mismatches is one of the biggest things when companies acquire other companies. And if sir Jacobs wants to get the most out of Con-way he would clean house as much as possible. Get rid of the dead-weight and get some new, fresh blood in management who know how to run a real freight company. Obviously he saw hidden value in Con-way but to unlock that the Con-way style of thinking needs to go, or it will be more of the same. I'll be lurking in the shadows to see how things work out. I hope it does.
When a company spends 200+ million a year just on IT costs alone, something is not right.. The management of Con-way in the last few years have just been looking out for their own interests instead of moving freight profitably

Xpo ought to recycle the aluminum in all those stupid signs. There's a couple of million right there!

That's the scrap price. Imagine the millions wasted printing them. And spending time and a half on four guys to watch a guy hang them things.

Yea it looks longer than a 28 foot pup. I'm a P/D driver, my buddy runs linehaul out of our shop and he sent this pic to me last night. Apparently these things are popping up at FAC's and other terminals every where. Another driver told me he saw aa XPO logos on equipment in XDP

Is it even legal to pull a set of double 33's down a regular freeway? (non-toll rd)

33 fts are not currently legal to pull in any combination. All freight companies are ordering them in anticipation of legislation being passed to authorize them. They will all have a lot of city trailers if they are not legalized.
Those graphics look nice. Hope they do that to all the trailers.

The company lobbyists already have the legislation locked up..Otherwise, why would companies spend millions acquiring this equipment
I think a set of triples in the new livery would be pretty neat.

The 33s won't be legal everywhere. Just the south and out west. What I heard.

We have a 33' at our barn that starts w/ 425. Maybe it's cause it's a lift gate.

That is because it is a lift gate. That is what our lift gate 33 is too.
