Again, I’m not exactly sure how LTT freight integrated with our other offerings. I think the real test of her leadership is what she chooses to do with the resources now freed up. Are we going to “enhance shareholder value” through ridiculous short term financial magic, or are we going to truly make other parts of the company better with smart investment and an eye toward a long term vision. In other words, can she successfully make the transition from CFO to CEO.
The new ceo has already made other parts better with smarter, prime-style investment decisions. In particular parts such as beards, nose and eyebrow rings, tattoos, etc. Basically if you identify as a proud, face-tattooed and mustache wearing shipping pirate - welcome onboard. If you like to dabble in redistribution of package delivery to your competition - you’re ready to be promoted. What Can ‘choose your preferred shipper’ Do For ‘choose your preferred pronoun’.
