Earlier this month, the CEO of XPO (NYSE:XPO), Brad Jacobs, announced that he intended divest operating units of XPO in an effort to maximize shareholder value. One thing was clear, however. Jacobs intended to hold onto the less-than-truckload (LTL) operations of XPO that were formerly known as Con-way.

Starting with just two trucks in Joplin, MO, in 1951, Contract Freighters Inc. (CFI) built a reputation for quality service, professional drivers, and being a good community partner. Today, CFI – after several name and ownership changes in the past 15 years – is reconnecting with the Joplin community and its customer base. The truckload carrier is home, even though it never left.
