BTW, farmers work in barns. We work in centers/hubs.
The term likely goes back to the days when teamsters actually drove (teams) of horses which of course were kept in barns. It is more common in the freight industry to refer to your domicile as a barn. It seems to have hung around in the union as a jab at company's desire to re-brand their image. I mean "center" sounds so much nicer than "barn".
