Got double ply at the reship I run. Must have come in on an errant shipment. It did not last the night.

Sniffing leaf springs? Is that some new kind of TV challenge game?

Not really sure what this has to do with positive changes at Xpo. It does look however that Transforce is trying to make some changes in their LTL division and one must give them credit for that.

I got word from district safety that the company has created 7 new districts, allowing for closer contact between district mngmt and local SIC's I imagine it involved creating some new salaried positions which demonstrates the company's willingness to increase capital expenditures for what it views as necessary. I would call that a positive operational change

That might be that new show on NetFlix? It’s called, XPO Survivor. Last weeks show featured drivers trying to identify smells at the Gary, IN terminal, and then be able to escape from there.

Actually the smell begins about the 160 MM on 80, just before entering Indiana from Illinois.

I guess if you consider more management a good thing. It’s mismanagement that has ruined the company.

Gary terminal is now XGF. No dock operations, but still being used as a drop pad for triples and via drivers. For how long, who knows. I'm guessing till the lease runs out.
