Pros

Both Legacy companies have great people.

Cons

Pepsi Transportation is too worried about handing their buddies business. Mode gets more business even though they charge the highest rates by 50% and provide the worse service. They are too worried about what business their buddies get than building relationships with existing carrier base.
