Very odd time to be planting a stake in the ltl market. Can't see what they could offer that a half dozen other VERY established ltl businesses can't.

It'll offer new hires better home time than traditional otr job. Also these trainer companies haul freight cheap by under paying their drivers because it's a opportunity to get a foot in the door for most people with a new CDL or get CDL directly from the company itself and sign your life away with the devil. Honestly this should worry other LTL companies. Yes yellow drove down freight rates but swift will drive them so low that other LTL companies might be going bankrupt in the coming decade this could be a nail in the coffin and swift is on the warpath buying Nail guns.

Whoever agrees to do it when they negotiate the purchase contract. If and when I ever decide to sell my house the buyer will be responsible for removal of my buried fuel oil tank or else no sale. You want my house, you take out the tank, or else go away.

Hey Wong, I can remember when fuel oil/diesel fuel was the cheaper cousin to gasoline and was 19 cents a gallon when gas was 29 cents a gallon. But you'll have to ask Breeze about the cost of whale oil for a full bore comparison. :poke::hilarious:
