Quality Carriers was one of the most competitive tank truck carriers in terms of pricing prior to my retirement in 2019. It will be interesting to see what influence CSX has on that business model.

Beware.  A Successful trucking operation is very, very different from a successful railroad operation.  Think UP and Overnite.

IRCC Quality does alot transloading for CSX. So they could fold QC into Transflo or visa versa.
