    Assuming you are Estes, been seeing quite a few one ways (outside contractor/independent pulling your trailers) on I80.

    No I was with Estes for 5 years and that was one of the problems. They would prioritize outside contractors and give them loads while company drivers would be sitting and waiting not getting paid. I work for ABF now

    With no benefits and customers running for the hills there isn't much incentive left to keep yrc employees on the job.
    Fuel will probably be shut off next and that will be it .
