I read that XPO is in something like 27 countries, and by having a designated carrier to move their freight in America, they will get even more foreign freight, since the Conway acquisition will allow them to give their foreign shippers a more accurate delivery date, which will help them recoup their investment into Conway in a short period of time.
Here in Cowtown, our terminal is up the road from the western rail yard. They will likely have hostlers running them all day. Our neighbors run hostlers up and down the street, anyway.
And we do have two full rail yards and two international airports here. We all fully expect to lose a bunch of freight. But with as much as he has his hands in we are expecting to be overwhelmed just the same.
The job posting is interesting. $18.00 an hour. For a zero endorsement CDL-A. We might end up with two tiers of drivers. The guy that can pull generic freight. And the guy with Hazmat/doubles/tanker.
With all that he already has in place. He sure don't need us for pulling containers. And not at what we cost to do it. We don't expect to see much if any dock time moving forward either. But this is just drivers talking it out. We still gotta wait and see.
