I don't think it is failing. Integrations are hard. What IS failing? Drivers, dock workers, office staff, mechanics, and dispatchers who literally couldn't care less about the success of this company because they know in their hearts that this company will never make THEM successful. The harder you work here, the more you lose because you put in more effort but you never really become wealthy.
Let me give you a clue. This company had NO INTENTION of keeping all the customers, all the freight, all the drivers, or all the staff. He wanted the bigger auto contracts and he could afford to buy a whole company to get them. End of story. "Mom and pop" customers and Vitran employees are nothing but an annoying afterthought.
Those who hop on board with the threats and intimidation can stay... Anyone with some dignity and a brain can hit the door.
Truth.
Let me say that here in Arlington Texas at the GM plant that we serve out of Dallas business is booming...The Tahoes and Escalades are rolling off in records numbers....Who shuttles trailers back and forth from the rail? Who does all of their logistics? UNIVERSAL !! A Moroun owned company. The LTL business has tripled for Central at GM Arlington and all their vendors in the DFW market place and continues to grow at a record pace...DFW is one of the hottest markets in the U.S right now and this man has capitalized on it big time...He's no fool at least when it comes to making money...Many LTL companies rise or fall on the DFW success....OD....SAIA....FEDX....ESTES.....UPSF.....all run operations out of Ft. Worth as well to maintain critical service issues...Central runs out of the old YRC 200 door terminal that is a rat invested hell hole....You could eat off the floor at OD's terminals in Dallas and Ft. Worth....At Central Dallas you better make sure you don't step in quicksand ....Pride is something that means a lot to me...I can't find it here. It's time for me to move on. And I will, rather I resign or get terminated remains to be seen...Men just don't be blindsided by this family....Know where you stand and act accordingly....Don't sell your soul to the devil for the almighty dollar...Plan your exit strategy and move in a calculated and strategic manner.Truth....Absolutely!!!
Recover? If you say so.I know at Holland we are seeing ALOT of ex Vitran freight. I feel for you guys. We were bought by a pos outfit too. It will take some time to recover.

Now just you settle down, Train. You're starting to sound a lot like that "Jacknife 18" character ... and we all know what a loser THAT guy is. ;-)

Perhaps the single most outstanding characteristic of healthy people is their unhostile sense of humor.lolololol! :-d
