XPO | Selling Terminals

They have presented things in a way that appears wonderful. And that's their job. When you investigate the numbers. You get a different picture. If this thing was so wonderful. Wall Street would be treating Jacobs like Warren Buffet. And the stock would be $1000 a share.
Don’t you think the business media would have picked up on any property sales too? Public owned companies have to be careful about burying facts in quarterly earnings reports.
 
I'm trying to find an article or something that spells it out. But I can't find one. XPO has a massive amount of debt. And him playing a shell game with everything. It's not that the company doesn't make money. But there is a lot of misinformation in the information they use. And they are known for it.

Those that work for XPO Logistics everyday see the book-cooking ( and sometimes are involved in it unfortunately ) Although some get used to it , it does give one the ability to see through the smoke , mirrors , and bullsh!t.
 
That would be contrary to EVERYTHING we've seen from upper management/ownership.

Since Con-way became XPO , it seems like zero terminals have been built.
and were should we build a new terminal at???? Here in the NE it can be next to impossible to find a place that has room and were the locals will allow it. The last I heard was that the LaSalle, Il. terminal was expanding like 100 doors. XMI has lost all the western sub-service out of there barn. All western freight that comes into XMI is sent to XAY to be moved to LaSalle were it is loaded on Sub-service.

I'm not advocating for new terminals necessarily. I was trying to point out that a lot of the existing terminals are in desperate need of maintenance and some may even need expansion.

But from what is known so far about current upper management/ownership , there's little to no chance of reinvestment into the infrastructure of XPO's freight division.

In the few years that XPO has been at the helm , Old Dominion has been a goal. In that time OD has added new terminals , updated their tractors , raised their pay , watched their share price rise , and managed to stay competitive. Similarly , in my neck of the woods , FedEx has done the same ( even added a terminal in an area where XPO closed a terminal )

Old Dominion is more relevant comparison because their main business is freight. What is XPO's main business? What is the goal of XPO? To make money? For who? The largest shareholder?

So you are saying that since XPO has been running this we have not received a pay raise? Have gotten NO new equipment like Tractors, Forklifts, Trailers, and Dollies. That our stock has not increased yes are took a beating but since the correction it has been up.
The core business segment for Old Dominion is LTL carrier shipping service.
The core business of XPO is Logistics we are a part of that.
Every companies main goal is to make money. Make money for the company and if the company is a public traded company the same for stockholders.

Old Dominion has a logistics arm as well.

And no ( I posted zero negative about pay ) , I'm only sticking to what I wrote in the post previously.

I love my job. So much , that I complain about the things that seem wrong , things that are broken , or places where XPO can and should do better.

Don't mis the point I'm trying to make by being so eager to prove your point.

In general , I agree with what you posted. As far as what XPO's core business is as being logistics , that's hogwash. That's a catch-all label ( in my opinion ) that means as much as synergy and dynamism.

Being critical doesn't mean being against.

but in your previously post, that you are sticking by, you did say "raised their pay" referring to OD

I didn't miss the point. In you post #28, that you are sticking by in fact in some parts I agree. You can not stand there are say we didn't get any new trucks or a pay raise. You just make it sound like XPO has put NO reinvestment into this place.

The general public ( and most employees ) only know what's revealed to us through mandated reporting for a public company.

You missed the part where I mostly agree with you.

In general , I love my job and don't have many complaints. That doesn't mean because I criticize the problems I see that it's all doom and gloom. Even nice places to work have issues.
