There's a new kid on the block
Yellow was the consolidator of failing union driver freight companies of which Roadway was the most noteworthy. They are gone as well. This will kill the Teamsters criminal enterprise
Self-driving trucks.........................
I saw an Amazon van yesterday. It was made by Rivian. I talked with the driver asking her if it was difficult to drive. After she described driving this thing, we both said “golf cart” and the same time. Weird looking vehicle. Tall and skinny with a huge windshield.
“This will kill the Teamsters criminal enterprise”
Your lips to God’s ears. I doubt this will stop the thievery. They just rolled the UPS a couple of blocks away. Had UPS not folded….
I wash forced TWICE to join this outfit back in the ‘70’s & ‘80’s and they kept every dime I paid into their Welfare Fund. Once, me being a hardheaded young man I allowed them to put me In collection for a $200.00 medical bill the Teamsters were supposed to pay but were dragging their feet out of principle.
That was the final straw, changed careers, became self employed. I’ve been blessed ever since.
My wife worked for Holland Truck line which was bought out and absorbed by Yellow right before she retired in 2022.
