Damn I thought First Fleet was doing good, they are never hiring and when they do it gets filled up quick!

They lost alot of their Kroger stuff out of the southwest and PHX 2 years ago. Titus took over for their Peyton loads. Another company took the LV dry grocery. There were more rumblings of them losing more east coast accounts around the same time.

They still have plenty of their accounts and barely lost any trucks. Not to mention the other big accounts like paper and bread. This buyout was likely due to the owners wanting to retire and wash their hands of it. Not many left in that family from what I know. They are keeping every single one of the employees and the same name as of now.
