The problem with Vitran is thier placement. There not regional or national. There not low cost or high priority.
They have a horrible foot print. They cover every state in the SE but LA, AR and FL.
It will help them by closing the west coast but there money pit is there lack of terminal density. They run Texas on 4 terminals? 150 mile peddle runs.
Which half the state isn't even serviced directly. So that's agent deliveries which is an extra 2-3 days.
It's stupid. Plus they drive 2+ hours through two states they don't even cover to get to TX or from TX.
Waisted money. There rates are simply not high enough to cover that cost.
You can't run Vitran like a FedEx....
West coast closing will not keep Vitran from losing money. The management is horrible! From CK to VP to Safety to OSD is a joke.
Pure waisted money letting them do whatever they want...
Work from home, don't come in, leave at noon...it's a joke
I give them til first qtr 2014 unless keylon is gone
