    And a
    As for where they run...the lower 48. But where that particular terminal runs? You'll have to talk to them.

    Ran out of Chicago. As far west as Salt Lake City, north as Fargo, east as Buffalo, and south as Atlanta.

    That's a lot of driving for an LTL driver. That's almost regional OTR.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    The absolute sheer driving force of our national economy - without truck drivers, our entire national economy would come to an absolute standstill - if not outright be dead.

    Over the mountains, through the woods, into the valleys, coast to coast, from sea to shining sea - truck drivers can and do go anywhere and everywhere, every day, all year round.

    YRC was my favorite customer when i drove for Covenant: no red tape.

    My two main choices of what LTL company to drive for are YRC and Old Dominion, so i am intrigued (and concerned) by your comment.
    How exactly did YRC royally screw these people over? Please give details

    Less than the drivers of the companies I listed. And you should care. Job security is big.
