I personally could not understand why they bought cfi in the first place because we had a cwtl when i started and they said it wasn't profitable so they sold it to covenent i believe

YRC Regional's total shipments per day were off 22.7 percent, a sign that regional competitors Con-way, Old Dominion, Estes Express, Vitran and others are gaining market share
YRC's Spin May Be Positive, But the Operating Numbers Are Not - GLG News

with all this stuff going on with truckload i don't see con-way selling them off.

Just recently they entered all Con-way Truckload units into our computer system so that we can punch on them and do repairs. They are scheduling in repairs in our shops and rolling in new shops through next year adding a few at a time. Our shops are adding parts to stock for there units too. I could not see them doing this if there was any intention to dump them. The way I see it, we are becoming more integrated with them on the maintenance side, so I take it as all rumor.

Thank you.

I would have guessed as much.

Anyone else hear anything similar?

Well the old management might be coming back but we still hold the paper on the company so they just can't leave at will. I think what you are hearing is some wishful thinking on the part of a CFI driver hating his new Conway truckload title.

Has anyone ever heard anything from a original CFI driver on how he likes his job now as a Conway employee? I am curious.

The driver I talked to was unhappy and said his was the majority opinion due to the take backs slowing the truck speed and other changes to the Con-way model.
