I needed to put my two cents in here. First, please learn how to spell. FedEx purchased Caliber Systems, a parent company of Viking freight, but this was done to acquire RPS. Viking was an afterthought. American Freight was purchased because it, along with Viking, made a lot od sense. AF was marketed to FedEx because the controlling shareholder was aged, and an inheritance tax assesed to his sons would cause them to sell the controlling interest of AF. Sheridan Garrison elected to sell before he passed and the sons kept most of three billion dollars. No matter how this came about, we all have a pretty good job. We all are more secure now than then. If you think it is better somewhere else....see ya!
