the only reason you see holland at your pickup location is because they service a different type of freight than we do at roadway.


holland tends to work on truckload 3-5 day shipments while we do time based LTL and small pallet specials - yellow focuses on markets where they have a next day a 3 day premium service established.

Basically, being a union employee is not always (in fact rarely ever) what it's cracked up to be.

teamsters health insurance does not cost me a penny out of pocket - in fact my last bout in the hospital cost me a grand total of 11 bucks plus 20 buck copay for a 3 day visit.


as for your former union employer I hope you are comparing apples to apples since not all unions are the same....


so was it a teamster freight company?
