VFR800 Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 TNT still booming (but in the correct way not like this truck) p.s. FedEx maybe has bought em but kept the company name so only those who look into it deeper would know the difference as per how a lot of companies now are. 2 Quote Link to comment

Not in the US it is FedEx ground now here, no more TNT. I haven't seen a TNT truck here in years. There are so many large trucking companies that are gone here because of deregulation. It has made it very hard to compete because it is so cut throat now that companies come and go daily. Edited July 8, 2019 by goes2fast 2 Quote Link to comment
VFR800 Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 Oh yeah I dare say here it's NO different. Only they have the sense to mask ownership with retaining the use of the old name for as much of it as they can if there's a buy out. 1 Quote Link to comment
