    They're part of the Proficient group now, so there's a lot more than just Deluxe trucks involved.

    Looks like you are hauling Vettes now. Back in the 90’s when Allied had the work that was my dream job. Vettes paid drug dealer money to Cooper, a buddy of mine was a 7 Figure a year to the truck hardrunner for several years. Hopefully they still pay you guys the same. 48 states, Canada, no night drops and gone for a week or two at a time isn’t my thing anymore. If I was young and hungry and they still pay the same I would be putting Accelerated on my doors.

    They didn’t have the money to buy Yellow. If I recall correctly the yellow real estate was worth more than what they offered to buy yellow for. I guess they had a behind the scenes hedge fund who was going to fund the Yellow purchase and then close the company anyway and sell the real estate.
