I might be wrong but, Meridian IQ was rebranded YRC logistics, then sold to GreatWide. Thus, YRCW doesn't own that subsiderary anymore.
Well, that's kinda right, but in '99 what was then known as CF Motor Freight was spun off from the parent company known as CNF which owned CF, the Con-ways and Emery Worldwide. When CF went tits up in '02 they were on their own. The parent company saw the writing on the wall and cut them adrift to sink or swim on their own. CNF is now known as Con-way, Inc.
Again, i just can't thank you enough for clearing this all up for everybody. With facts, i might add..from a book.

Con-way Inc. traces its history to Leland James, who, in 1929, founded a small regional trucking company in Portland, Oregon, named Consolidated Truck Lines. The company enjoyed great success through expansion and acquisition, and was later renamed Consolidated Freightways (CF).
James’ company would experience a number of changes over the course of time, including when, in 1983, the corporation known as Con-way Transportation Services was founded. Con-way was created to provide nonunion, regional short-haul service in markets where CF wasn’t actively selling its services. The regional companies Con-way Central Express (CCX), Con-way Western Express (CWX) and Con-way Eastern Express (CEX) were established as part of this strategy.
Didn't West-Ex become Saia?
In January 2001, sister companies, Action Express and WestEx were integrated into Saia under the company's brand name, expanding direct coverage into 21 states with more than 100 terminals and over 5,000 employees.
Huh, now I never knew that.
I remember the first time I past a Saia truck and I saw some writing on the hood.
All I saw was 'We Car' and I thought...what? Then I finally saw it all...'We Care, We Share'
Do they even still have that on their trucks anymore? I've not seen one in a good while.
I don't know. I've been practicing for my e-logs, going 54mph. Those Saia trucks go by too fast to read anything except the name on the back of the trailer.Huh, now I never knew that.

I heard SAIA stood for Southern A-holes Invading Action.:D
I thought it was Some A-hole In Arkansas.
