When I first started posting on this board, I was trying to lend an understanding ear to WML people. I was attacked but that is OK. When I worked for American Freightways and FedEx bought us, I was scared to death. In the long run, it is very evident that it was the very best thing that could have happened. I am only a number at FedEx, but they still try to do what is right for me and my family. FedEx is growing, not shrinking. I think all Watkins employees will still have a job after the dust clears. And I think in the long run, it will mirror the situation at AF where it gets better and better.bignrich said:I Will Now Sit Back And Wait I Came On The Board A Little Upset You Have To Understand We Have Been Working With Rumors For A Couple Of Months I Have Friends That Work For Gator-fedex-wilson-roadway-and Yellow And A Lot Of Friends That Work For Ups Drivers Are Drivers I Just Hate The Change If It Happens But We All Adjust So If Fedex Does Buy We Will Make The Best With What Ever They Deal Us I Still Have Hope In Watkins But Face It What Ever Happens Happens Dont Worry About Some Thing You Cant Contol So I Am Sitting Back And Waiting And To All Watkins Employees No Matter What Job You Hold Good Luck In The Futher And It Has Been A Great Run
Friend of the frog said:The people who will have to worry are the clerks, adminstration people, the corporate paper pushers. That stuff can be, as Bill Zoallrs says, synergized. Drivers for the most part cannot.

Has the air been cleared up?whim said:No one is buying
Watkins. This is just a rumor that keeps spreading like stink in the wind. It also helps other trucking companies use it for leverage in sales to customers. There is too much money being spent on upgrading P&D communications for them to be selling. This rumor will pass just like a bad case of gas.
