Is there any Central drivers working in Seattle or Tacoma? Are you guys laying off too?

Yes the website for Central does not show a terminal for Washington or Oregon. I wonder how many more companies are going to bite the bullett.

Can't service the PNW with two terminals...not with good regional carriers in that area. The Central boys couldn't get it together with the disconnect between the Texas mentality and what this business is in the real world.

They shut down in Portland and Seattle last year. They had been going through a slow death in the northwest closing EOFF terminals for years.
