My CON-WAY Brothers, we at FEDEX FREIGHT have the same issue with what you just mentioned. And we all agree totally about outsourcing freight with non-company drivers.

Sometimes I wonder if we really are CON-FED, our "LEADERS" seem to think and act the same way!!!

They just don't get it!!!

Just think about this Hulk, Your leaders may soon think like YRC leaders as they (CW) seem to be taking people from YRC to run Con-Way!

You are correct Hulk .. they dont get it sometimes .. I can see 3 or 4 day service freight but not 2 day freight .. if you itemize the 2 companies you can see similar business tactics and levels .. what we are delivering you will be next week ...
