Oh boy!!! Where to start, Do you honestly believe that UPS did not do their home work before purchasing Overnite. Do you think that there was a reason that UPS paid above prime money for Overnite?

BusterNite Like I said in a previous thread, Viking used Overnite for a few years to interline our eastbound freight. And in the end we bought American Freightways instead. Don't you think that UPS would be in a better position to compete in the LTL freight business against FedEx Freight and FedEx National LTL if they had bought Conway and CFI??

Have you seen a set of UPSF triples going down the road?? 1st trailer is Overnite 2nd trailer is Motor Cargo 3rd trailer is UPS Freight.
