That is correct three offers the last was 500m and the board voted unanimously NO!
SAIA | New England
- Thread starter LTL54
- Start date
If they go acquisition route Land Air Express would seem like a fit. Non union carrier. Had their issues with DOT but two years later are still running. Closed terminals in NJ. Still have terminals in upstairs NY and New England. RealEstate investor bailed them out of closing two years ago. I would think know is when he could get ROI.
They were bought out buy North East Freightways. They run under thier DOT number now since thier original number was ruined. They still have troubles, medical was cancelled for a while and they don’t own all the terminals they have left.
BUYing Pitt Ohio or award would have got them Pa, MD and NJ but no any or New England. Saia already has terminals in the rest of Ward and Pitt Ohio’s areas
Pitt-ohio is a kicks ass regional carrier...up here in the mid Atlantic region...we tried to buy them in 2005

Is Duie still running those satellite guys up in Maine, New Hamsphire, and Vermont? I thought they were going to open a barn or 2 to help cover those states.

Pitt Ohio doesn’t service anything in “New England”
Land Air is union in Massachusetts, at least.
Pyle was the logical buyout, but they turned down the offers.

What caused you to leave sefl for Estes and would you ever consider returning?
Long wait for linehaul at our terminal was the main reason. Right behind it was the overbearing management, especially seeing the way they treated our older guys who had been there for 20+ years. They obviously couldn’t move as fast as the younger guys and therefore were punished with trash freight, house stops, etc almost exclusively. I would not consider returning under normal circumstances but you never know what life may hand you in the future. I will say they didn’t cut our pay or benefits and kept everyone working through the recession. I’m very satisfied where I’m at with E currently. The only thing that stays the same is change though, one day we are on top of the world and the next day we could be a trash bottom feeder carrier, never can tell how things are going to play out.

Was told by someone in upper management last week that we would be in Boston by the end of the year
That’s a big reach without getting all that business in between.

I had heard that they're struggling right now in the Northeast
I heard they can’t get the drivers. Drivecam is scaring drivers and time with current companies make drivers don’t want to leave and start all over again from the bottom.
