Just curious about something

[cargodreaming]

I am a contractor for EGL and have been for about 4 1/2 years. I love it. Well EGL just got bought by CEVA Logistics formerly TnT. Has anyone reading this ever worked or dealt with them? Do they have contractors? I am kinda in the dark with them and kinda would like to know a little bit about them other than their website. I wish I knew how to get freight on my own so I wouldn't have to worry about stuff like this. I know more headaches I am sure with multitasking but it would be interesting to do. Thanks .

I'm with EGL also (tractor/trailer), from what I've seen and heard the buyout can't hurt.
The station I am domiciled out of is so poorly run I get 75% of my freight from another station. I have spoken to the guys pulling the TNT trailers and they are all contractors. I believe they are run very much like EGL in that they own few assets. Ceva/TNT does not have a local branch in my area, so I don't have any local minds to pick.
I spent 20 years oversea's and TNT was a competitor to DHL. UPS and Fedex were not major players (compared to DHL) in the international package market,they have made inroads since.

Thanks for the comments just kinda worried and curious about the transition. Heres the press release http://www.cevalogistics.com/Press-office/Press-releases/Archive/CEVA-Logistics-issues-statement

I hope they bring on a new sales team. What i see is the lack of sales pushing for more business. I have no really big complaints about EGL other than they want budge on fuel surcharge and the ridiculus local tariffs other than that I stay busy and pay the bills.
