XPO medical?

wandtl · Mar 9, 2016

So wife and I was close to home and decided to take a day off(unnecessary information). We was watching our local news(Fort Wayne). XPO Logistics is building a new building for distribution of medical supplies here. Creating 75 new jobs. Sorry I found a link but can't get it to work

XPO Logistics, Trinity Health select Allen County for new distribution center

XPO is getting into distribution centers in a big way. I believe they are hooking up with Amazon across the country.

Always knew they were into drugs. This confirms it.

Today I saw their name attached to another carriers name on a ltl bill of lading. First time in 11 years in s&r ive ever seen their name on one of our shipments.

Con-Way?

MikeDamone · Mar 11, 2016

Might have been. Con-way is one of our regular carriers, so its likely. That or usf.

What do you mean? I see their trucks all over their place. I drive by their terminal on a weekly basis.

MikeDamone · Mar 12, 2016

Oh I see.

Thanks Fastman! This thread was reading like an Abbott and Costello skit.

Who bought what?

XPO owns Con-Way, eventually the trucks will say XPO Logistics, and they will have XPO LTL on the door signs...they only got rid of 190 positions where the position was redundant.
In other news I know they also have lawsuits against YRC (something to do with having former Conway execs with XPO confidential info/business plans and non compete clauses)
