Mr. Breeze, let me set you straight as to the acquistion of Motor Cargo. Overnite did not buy Motor Cargo they had not the ability or the good sense to do that. Motor Cargo was sold to the union pacific railroad and Hal Tate the owner received 80 million dollars in railroad stock. The company was ran seperate from Overnite also a upr company. After the railroad got tired of funding the 60 million dollars a year into the underfunded overnite pension plan it sold the two companies as an ipo on the open market...Stupid investors then bought the worthless stock and the railroad are still dancing and rejoicing to this day. I think overnite should refund the price of the stock they sold to the unsuspecting public...if ups had not come along when they did we would all have gone the way of cf, nw, garrett and on and on...thank your lucky stars for deep pockets....As a regional carrier we had many million dollars day which overnite did not mind spending to sustain it numbers which we know are in the toilet.....102 operating ratio now who's fault is that? Yours or mine?
I think not.....And please be advised that there is only one union terminal at upsfreight and it is in Reno, NV not Indy and we are the only and first union terminal and will continue to be....that
I am sure will be a trivia question at your next upsf xmas party....
