The company is almost certainly going out of business. The non-union staff are the first to go because they don’t work under the terms of a contract.

You can see how a company like this ends up in a death spiral. They run into financial difficulties due to questionable moves or declining business conditions. Once that happens, word gets out and their customers stop using them to ship loads because they don’t want their freight to be sitting on a Yellow truck if/when the company goes out of business. And that just drives the vicious cycle even faster.

Or, your valuable freight could be stuck somewhere because the union goes on strike.
