Yeah, I got me an MBA also, and you should remember from finance that one can be overleveraged.

Which might be the case with Mr. Moyes.

Your guess is as good as mine! They like to talk 'secretly' here, like in elementary school: "I know something you don't but I can't tell you". :roll: :lol: Then don't say anything at all. Thing is they want others to know they supposedly know more than you and I do but then won't tell you :evil:

Sadly, I'm sitting around waiting for a load, so this idle gossip passes for entertainment

Sorry you're waiting for a load. I guess this is indeed better entertainment than nothing. :lol:

Oh well,

I guess something really big did not happen. What are we going to do?
At least it was interesting for a day or two.

Good luck everybody.

Ok maybe I must have missed it, but what two companies with 600+ trucks went under this past week?
Rush out of Michigan and Richardson out of Virginia closed up last week. Both were in the neighborhood of 650 trucks.

Don't know if Rush has closed, but their website is still active and they are still answering the phones.

Not questioning you, just stating facts...

There are 2 of them. The one we got the message on that had closed up (we've been getting a lot of calls from their drivers, too) is the one up in Grand Rapids. I think the other is in Indiana.
