[QUOTE="Buffet Master, post: 5010332, member: 86736"] I was in LTL for a good few years. One of the most interesting rumors I have heard in my time in trucking was about 4 or 5 years ago. XPO had focused on really expanding their presence in logistics and started enlarging the scope of things they were involved in. But, supposedly they were looking to sell off the trucking side, I.E.- the Conway network of equipment and terminals. This of course immediately brought Amazon to the forefront of interested parties. Where the rumor got interesting(especially in hindsight being at UPS now and who our CEO is and where she came from) was that Lowe's and Home Depot were very concerned about this. To the point supposedly Home Depot was looking to make liquid whatever it took to be able to keep Amazon from making that acquisition. I guess they feared that Amazon with a fleet of single axles and pups could get into delivering building materials and completely changing the model most contractors operate off of. [/QUOTE]
