yep and they are in for a rude awakening, when PRIDE goes belly up. Their whole model was having the multiple entities supplement each other. When one goes the rest soon follow after, like dominoes. Those customers are most likely aware of this and will squeeze out the preferred pricing till the last Pride truck leaves their facilities.

Most of them understand.

They've done pricing exercises to replace Pride, realized the spike it was going to cause and will ride it out.

Might mean 1 or 2 shipments get stuck somewhere.

I saw two of their trucks on the QEW yesterday, I guess the people that are still there are staying to the bitter end.

truth of it is, they have no where to go. Especially the drivers, I'ev had quite a few apply to us over the last few months and you can sense the desperation in some of them. Really a bad situation.

i know they have done so much of wrong doings with many small carriers and owner operator in truck sales but logistics was going good.They dropped prices in some lane because they were able to sell trucks in their own program(pgl). But know if they continue dropping prices if they survive they will not be able to continue for long.What they are know doing is only hiring more owner operator to cutt their equipment costs.Also many trucks are going back to the banks
