It so happens that there is a town called "North East, PA" about 15 miles north of Erie as you head toward the State of New York.

Now, we're up above 10k and one of our major competitors will be gone soon....not IF but WHEN. So it's very difficult to plan...

I'l have to go with Franklin on something he has pointed out on one of his long winded threads .... why did we destroy our infrastructure with the layoffs ... and then turn around 3 months later and go after freight ..... don't get me wrong here ..I like the work .. but really ? Also SwampRatt makes a good point ...#1 Take care of our people .... and #3 Honor our commitments

I agree with you momoney. I sure hope that they know what they're doing. You don't want to grow too big too quick. They must of had this in the works for a while. You just don't go and start building and buying without doing any kind of planning first. They must be forecasting a huge volume of freight in coming months ahead.

And to think the guys on here were going on and on about 90/90 at FXF, I've never seen a posting at FXF like this one, anyone else?? Looks like OD was the one they should've been watching. FM

I was told by a good friend of mine here on the boards that FedEx Freight is moving into the Holland terminal in North East Pa.(Erie Pa.) Also he told me that the terminal is and has been owned by R & L for some time now. We are supposed to move in around Christmas. It is a 40 door terminal with dock bumpers, gas well and lots of room to expand. How about some input from our guys out there.

I have seen Wal-Mart running those Franklin, looks kinda cool if you ask me, yet strange as all get out at the same time!!!

Here is what the dumb fn idiots we work with do to our crank handles. (yes, it's on the right side of the trailer for your former Westies.) Rocket science isn't it. roog
