Been meaning to put this out there.

1st we had the announcement naming Ken Frith as SVP of Freight Direct. Now it has come to our attention that Dale Davis – Former VP of Direct - is out. No longer with the Company.

Frith was announced as SVP in the March video, so that was done at least a month prior.

Since I don't know anything for sure, I'm free to speculate with the best, as well as ask questions. Does anyone actually know any details?

No hard facts are available, just rumors... Rumors as to how/why, etc.

The departure of Dale, it seems (to me), was not a amicable one. The fact that the silence is deafening on this topic points to that. Zero public mention. No fond farewell, bon voyage, NO thank you for your years of (truly) dedicated service, etc. NONE of that. Instead, silence/speculation.

Frith, we know, reported to Dale for some years, moving up at a fairly rapid pace, earning pretty much every award (in multiples) along the way. I know he is fully engaged, energetic, enthusiastic, with a strong track record.

Anyone worked Ken Frith along the way? Any insight? Thoughts on any of this?

Correction: It was the May video that announced Ken Frith... These videos are produced at least a month in advance.

It seemed a bit odd at the time, naming a Regional VP to SVP, while the existing VP was still in place. :scratchhead:
