    XPO medical?

    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.

    Cargo Van 2016 Dodge Promaster

Did have a turn signal in driver side mirror go out, went to dealer to have replaced, but they had to order the bulb. Once I went back in to have it installed the mechanic cracked...

    Carrier Corp. leaving the U.S.

    Eventually there won't be anyone making enough to buy their goods...middle class drives the economy. Greedy corporations will run out of customers eventually.

    So how much does that load pay?

    I found when I started driving OTR 20 yrs ago, that you make a lot better use of your time at home than most people do, but it is because we value it more.

    So how much does that load pay?

    Had a short load under 200 miles, contract rate is $150 plus d/h. They gave me the actual email with what they paid to our company. I made $166, they made $270 for 120 miles (I did the work). Found where a lot of your nickles went, OVM.
