Kirby has lots and lots of money, they are the biggest red flag barge operator in the country.

Is the Allied / Kirby deal final or just rumor? I have several friends working over there.

I heard they are looking to scoop up another NY company too!

I really hope not!!! How many of our co workers left Kirby to have better conditions!?

I really didn't mind Kirby. The 2-1 sucked but the conditions were OK. That could have just been my boat though. But with that said, I have many friends still there who like it
