Another union carrier goes under.

Once again yellow corp wins the award for destroying L.T.L. Less than truckload union jobs. My resume or experiences of working under yellow corp vultures after they acquired union freight outfits.

People need to be more aware of the loss of trucking jobs and demise of trucking companies. Our survival depends upon the ability to move goods in a timely manner. People think supply chain issues were bad during COVID? Hold my CB radio because it could get much worse.
