Went to the shop yesterday to turn in a truck for maintenance and noticed the Estes yard had some new additions to their equipment. It's kinda bitter sweet to be honest. On one side it cumulates over a decade spent at Reddaway and Holland. On the other hand, I am actually in a far less stressful work environment and things are looking up.
The overall sentiment of many of my former colleagues that are fanned out over the country is that we are all anxiously waiting for our W2's to show up. We are all ready to close this chapter of our lives so we never have to deal with anything related to Yellow again. It is almost like waiting for your divorce papers to come in.
C'est la vie

While driving I saw a yellow tractor trailer heading southbound ain't no telling if the equipment is going to Estes or Ritchies bro auction.
Seeing this it's a bitter sweet as I think of all folks who lost their jobs and also the yellow drivers who I used to run into while doing my route.Speed_Drums, LTL Bull and road_runner Thank this. -
That's going to be a bunch of us for the next few decades when we pass an old Yellow/Holland/Reddaway trailer. Now it's going to be our equipment dotting the back of people's yards and all that blood sweat and tears that we put in will be filled with people's rubbish or winter equipment when it's not snowing.
Circle of LTL life. It's like walking past an abandoned Toys-R-Us that is being converted into a temporary Spirit Halloween. I am glad it is done and over with. I moved on to something better. But I can't help but wonder what happened to my truck. I wish I could have bought it. If was just an old 2006 International with 1.4 million miles on it.Speed_Drums, Digman943, LTL Bull and 3 others Thank this. -
I still see NEMF equipment hauling mail on a regular basis.

Post Office has been seeing a few of their bigger mail contractors shuttering their operations.
Texas_hwy_287 and LTL Bull Thank this. -
I forget the name, but they drive yellow truck(high lighter yellow), and sometimes matching trailers with black font. Well, they underbid everyone and I guess realized it wasn’t profitable and left.
my local usps hub looks like they throw it on a load board now because I’ve even seen Werner pulling for them and tons of randoms
the yellow company I see a lot in Jacksonville, but for the likes of me I can’t name em.
10-roads express. They no longer exist in my neck of the woods. -
