Yellow was mismanaged. Similar to Hostess.
They were in trouble before they bought Roadway and Holland. They have been on the verge of bankruptcy the part 15 years. The Teamsters and the Government bailed them out multiple times. I do feel sorry for the employees.

Bully.
XPO and OD are quitely turning into big players, from what I hear. I mean, im out of touch with freight, but I know they're big agencies. I just hear they're slowly creeping up on the big dogs.

A couple years ago, TForce was doing home delivery in my area. Pretty sure they were subcontracting.
When I would bump into a driver and talk to him, it was rare to find one that could speak English.
But I do know enough Spanish to come to the conclusion that it was an awful place to work as a courier.
Haven't seen TForce doing home deliveries for quite awhile now.
Largest hauler of freight at one time as well. Makes you think.
"A slight hit"......say, how will these funds continue funding?

ABF just signed a new deal with the Teamsters.
So, they were in trouble before Roadway etc.
I see this mismanaged statement a lot. And those couple million in bonuses didn't sink Yellow.
Now.....what could have bankrupted Yellow.......? The same forces of other "union" bankruptcy's? That's one line of thinking.
Makes you wonder why T-Force was sold.....
While wondering why GM, Chrysler etc. teeter on the brink.....weren't they bailed out etc.?
I guess we need to define "mismanagement".....
While ultimately wondering if being the highest cost delivery company....arguably in the world......is......sustainable?

While we have the dictionary out, can we also define "obtuse"....
