    I’m surprised the Teamsters aren’t up in arms over that.

    Really?

    First I’ve heard of it. They must not be making too much of a stink. Word does get around in this business.

    Almost 4 years now. It was part of the 'sign this contract or we're going out of business' contract.

    I think CRST does it for YRC, as well. I've also seen Werner pulling ABF sets. The Teamsters are up in arms about it, but apparently there's no contract language against it. I don't see them very often, at least where I run.

    CRST was doing linehaul for us about 10 years ago. They made us miss service on entirely too much freight.

    We’re non-union though. I’m just amazed I haven’t heard about the Teamsters practically going to war over this.

    Look back in 2008 and December 2013 and January 2014. They were pissed, and almost didnt vote for more concessions.

    Long and short of it was the banks held the Teamsters feet to the fire. They dont agree, YRC goes down, taking its regional companies with it.

    I’ve seen a single axle Schneider truck pulling YRC doubles a few times up around KY, IN line.
