HAVE NOT SEEN ONE REBRAND here in new england area
i can asure you if one makes it up our way it wont leave the state for some time as well! hell i might just go there tonight see if its empty and steal it from yaWe got one in New England just the other day Rabbit. Our first official XPO pup arrived here at XWO, (Worcester, Ma) two days ago. They even sent it out on a P&D route. Seems like management wants to keep it around and not send it out on line haul and loose it.

That's funny Rabbit... you sneaking down here to steal our one and only XPO pup that we've waited months to get our hands on.
Just think, by the end of this year there won't be any Conway branded equipment anywhere to be seen according to Mr. Jacob's rebranding time table. And all this urgency and desire to see and get an XPO branded unit at one's service center today will seem so ridiculous to us then. But for now... the XPO pup stays here at XWO. lol
By the way...have you guys up north had a visit from the official 'XPO Ambassador' unit yet?
I think some terminals have. I haven't saw it though. I think I missed one of the terminals it was at since our linehaul is a constant extra-board and no consistent runs.

I've been to XWO once,back in my truckload days... I was scared I missed it in the dark headed up the road to it til I saw it on the left...
Well SRTS, our barn has improved over the years. When I first started in the trucking industry the terminal here was owned by St.Johnsbury Trucking Company, who incidentally hired me as a part time o/b dock guy, licensed me and opened up the trucking world to me. When SJTC went belly up in the early 90's, Conway bought the place and improved the out side lighting somewhat. So if you ever come this way again..." we'll be sure to leave the light on for yah."
no!That's funny Rabbit... you sneaking down here to steal our one and only XPO pup that we've waited months to get our hands on.

I know I mentioned it somewhere, I saw it in xnw maybe 2 months ago. It was a new 33' hooked to a new freightliner, parked in a door right by the office. It was all decked out inside with lights and some kind of wall board inside. I could see that people had signed the inside. When I asked in the office "what's up with that", I got the usual, "oh, everyone's supposed to sign it thing." I was only thinking, hmm, it's 5:30am and I'd like to get home. I just thought it was funny that no one made a big deal about it. If you ran xnw, you'd know why I wasn't surprised.Well Rabbit
I Wonder when it's gonna make it's way to the Northeast?

I seen it backed in a door and it has 3 big red boards on it where you sign your name, then they are going to take the boards and hang them at main officeI know I mentioned it somewhere, I saw it in xnw maybe 2 months ago.

Heard a rumor from a mechanic the other night that Mr. Jacobs didn't like the looks of the XPO logo on the pups. Thought it was too big?? Maybe that explains why CMI is shipping out new trailers without logos? Hooked to a new pup Friday night that was built last month and the trl# started with 321. Do the prefixes mean anything?They brought several xpo trailers to St.louis about a month ago. But now they are back to bringing new plain white trailers again.
