    Rumor has it .....

    That United Road is moving 'en force' and 'en bulk' into Ontario and Quebec, Canada. Anybody know what's up with this ? How do you make a move like that (if it's true) without a contract .... or do they HAVE a contract ??? Last I heard was that the only thing up for bid anytime soon in the Great White North is some Ford work in the summer. Anybody ? Bueller ? Anybody ? Bueller ? ... Bueller ... ?

    (Sorry ... I watched 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' last night after work because there was absolutely NOTHING else on ... that line sorta stuck .... )

    Cheers

        It's true in Ontario. We lost work at both Ford plants to them. I hear they were only given a 6 month contract by Ford which is up in May I believe. Hopefully we can get that work back.

Is this another pts situation lining up for allied? Has anybody heard anything about that?

                  Re: Rumor has it .....

                  Ok, so I have a couple of things to add to this thread. First of all, if anybody who thinks Allied is not going out of business on May 31, 2010 they are soarly mistaken. Allied never intended to reinstate the 17.5%. All they wanted was to steal harded earned Teamster money and give themselves bonuses. There is no "snap back" clause here guys I am sorry to tell you. We tried to tell you guys this three years ago and 49% of Allied listened. I feel bad for those guys. Hopefully most of Allied's business will get picked up by a union carrier.

                  So speaking of "union carrier's", the rumor now is that JCT is in negotiation's to purchase Cassen's Transport, Sierra Mountain, and two other small non-union carriers. How's that for a rumor?!

                        At the risk of blowing my own horn, I'd say you're right. This thread title has a serious future in the Car Haul forum .... read on ....

                          Here's another one:

                          Rumor has it .... that Cooper is planning on buying SeaRail here in Canada. That would give them Canada coast to coast. Terminals, trucks, contracts, and drivers. SeaRail is currently owned by Livingston Freight which, apparently, is trying to sell off their Car Haul division after only buying into it last year.

                          Anybody want to weigh in on that one ? Curently, at least around here, SeaRail is looking for drivers.

                              Just loving all the rumors,hopefully cassen's which is now the only family owned carrier won't give up so they can listen to a bunch of stock owner's that haven't got a clue as to what is involved in carhaul.All they want is the money.(ie greed). Also sometimes I don't think ford knows what it's doing on moving freight.They get into a pi**ing contest with the rail,move it from there to another rail head, and a month later put some of it back where it was before,
