    Ok lets hear some good about Express-1

    I would not let the stock price be of any concern to you as a driver. Reason being if the parent company goes broke, someone will buy this quality company up, nothing should change for drivers or customers. Stand up company, I considered them myself and would again if I were looking.

    I thought I was the only one who noticed that wood disgized as chicken. I did once luck out and had some that was fresh and juicy, thought I was at KFC or Bojangles. For a decent dinner, try just a salad bar with the soup. Have not yet gotten sick (upset stomach) from just the salad bar.
