Roadway Express. My father retried after 33 years from there, running Line Haul the whole time. I too worked there from 02 to 05 running Line Haul too. In fact for 6 months ran a team bid with my father.
Was a great, well ran company. Great money, great schedules, great home time, and for me the job was fun most of the time.
Then in 05 Yellow Freight bought them, changed the name to YRC and slowly ran the company into the ground.
