I just hope the driver is okay with it as I no longer have a dog in that fight as I won't be driving for them. They pay us the money that's supposed to go to the van I'm golden. I'm just excited about not having to make the payment out of my own pocket anymore haha

They found us. Driver for the van that lives an hour away in 2 days or so and she has 25 years of TT experience under her belt. As long as she can sort thru the BS that all companies have anyways really ill be content

Sounds like XPO is going to be a force to be reckoned with and the mass amounts of employees and equipment to throw around that muscle

The article said they're going to rebrand all their Conway assets so they'll be a ton of Xpo trucks. Id not heard of them until they bought E-1 but I was still pretty green then
