TForce | Terminal closings??

[BROWN22]

Any truth to Parkersburg Terminal? York? Closing or more nonsense?

 

[Gater]

We were told yesterday that those terminals are closing also WDC.

 

[Gater]

We were told yesterday they were closing Parkersburg, York and also WDC. The company thinks the workers in those terminals will follow their work. Maybe they will follow the work. I doubt it.

 

[BROWN22]

Thank you:(

Very few know we're these places are,

City and state would be helpful.

Parkersburg W.V...York P.A.

 

[No port]

Yeah, no small rural terminal is safe from closure.

 

[Gater]

WDC is small but not rural.

In the last conference call about the Q2 results, Bedard said that we still have 4,000 doors too many. When talking about Yellow closing he said we could handle 40-45,000 shipments a day because of our real estate, but he doesn’t want that. There’s either going to be more closed terminals or half rented terminals. He wants controlled/manageable not just whatever we can move like UPS.

Sounds like they don’t care about growth.

Growth just for the sake of growth isn't always a good thing. Many companies have grown themselves into disappearance.

Agree. However any company, publicly traded, will do that for the stock.

I feel the same way. They don’t care about growth. At my barn we are many strippers behind. We are 30-40 pickups behind.

He said it when they purchased the place “lean and mean” it’s all a number’s game… top to bottom…

York is close to Harrisburg PA.

Hardly ever see any movement out the Knoxville terminal. Very little personal vehicles there. I thought they were close but a few drivers from there came over to Estes said they are open just not doing much.

As far as freight is concerned still picking up oversized garbage that doesn't fit on liftgate. I just bring them back. I refuse to injury myself for a pallet .

 

[Gater]

Does anyone know a time frame when they will be closing these terminals?

York is below Harrisburg.
Harley-Davidson and York Barbell were there...I haven't been thru there in decades. I-83. Route 30.
Any date on when it's closing?
How many doors does it have?
