WOW! I got a phone call this morning from someone looking for the CEO of this company. He thought it might be my husband (the name in the story and my husband's name differs by one letter). I just laughed at the guy because I had not known about this story.

Corn Flakes is going? Now who are the c.b. truckers gonna pick on?
To: John W
Yeah, but we've got all kinds of room for Mexican trucks in this market.

Ahh, the reorg dodge. Shameful piece of lawmaking. Next, watch as the helpless customers get backcharged millions in what ghoulish pension barristers coin unfair and undocumented tariff reductions.
Here's the scam. You hire CF or any freightways to carry your cargo. They quote a retail price less a huge (sometimes 60% and more) discount called a filed tariff. Except they never file the tariff. Sometime in the future the freight company files for bankruptcy and the vultures (unsually lawyers representing the employees) exploit by going after John Q. Unaware Business customer asking for the reductions returned. It can add up to millions of dollars. A typical customer might be looking at over 100K in demands that can stretch back over 7 years. And they get their money. Talk about unfair. It's obscene.

Wonder if they will have to give up their luxury box at Yankees Stadium which is right next to Steinbrenners?

That bites. We use CF a lot. I've got a big shipment en route from New Jersey to Los Angeles on a CF truck. I hope they don't strand it in Missouri or something.

Trucking companies and taxicab companies come and go like any other business. When business picks up, the same drivers will be driving the same rigs over the same routes. Only the logo on the side of the trailer will be different.

Fact is..... If CF can't deliver anymore because of bad management, someone else will. I look at the Walmart's, Lowe's, and the outlet malls and I see a public that is buying big time.
