I realize I'm a guest on your forum and I'm not trying to be a jerk,but what other companies are doing this??? And how is money being saved??A later model tractor should be getting at least10%better fuel mileage,not to mention lower maintnance costs,those new tractors are depreciating in value wether or not they're being used.And the old ones have already depreciated in value so much they're almost worthless as far as tax purposes go.
I made that word up on my CC day! Good thing I didn't go to the truck place!:smilie_132:

There was a company called Consolidated Freightways that did some very strange things resulting in Con-Way Freight...
Big Spoon.....LoL.....
er:Maybe you should get on the right page,before you start reading.A 2007 or 2008 with very low miles would have a higher appraised book value thus boosting the net assets of the company!
For what reason would the company be trying to boost their total assets??
It seems the worm is much deeper than most realize....
Maybe someone in the Ivory Towers will disclose their reasoning for this.
Or shal we read between the lines??
I drove for duff truck lines. I saw them buy with cash brand new 1973 GMC road units, only 100 of them. Got them ready and then parked them for only eight months. No one understood that either. However, when they were put in service they all needed new batteries and tires, dryrot tires and frozen batteries. Now lets assume that the tires and batteries are a lot better in todays age. Maybe those things are porperly taken care of by Conway. Duff did last for 13 years after this, but why did they do this?
Conway seems to be a well run company as I see it from the outside.

Substance?????
You are a manager.....how about some logical insight on the issues??
What I have stated in my post have been nothing less than factual truth..
Let's try this for substance!
Con-way purchases CFI,a major automotive industry carrier (we know where the auto industry is today),linehaul schedules being cut or cancelled daily!
Con-way closes over 40 service centers...(they say this will save millions).
Con-way reduces workforce daily.
Con-way parking 08-07 tractors,replacing them with 95-96 units that were put out of service to be sold or scraped,Drivers freezing their a**es off,venders getting rich while drivers stand around waiting for tractors to be started.
Con-way linehaul drivers at work,NOT being paid while waiting for schedules.
No Soup on cold days....lmao
Sounds like another Consolidated Freightways to me
