Any word of SAIA possibly expanding into the northeast? Any word of this ever from Rick guys ?
thanks for the reply. No thanks on the UPS and YRC sites. They can keep the union bull@%&!
Maybe you should read the YRC section before counting on that full pension being there, especially if you belong to the Central States Plan. I hope you guys get everything that you are entitled too. You've worked for it and you deserve to get what you were promised. Having said that, what a headache world you guys are living in. I'm sure some of the union LTL's are good places to work but just look at the possibilities when their not.Keep my pension and real benefits too.
Flash back to C.F. union trucking,it can happen overnight. closed doors,thousands out of work.pensions-ya ????????,retirement benefits ????????????
the cheapest way to expand into a new area is to buy an existing carrier. you get equipment , people and accounts, the question is, would saia buy a union carrier? that is about all there is available in the area small enough for sais to buy.
There is no way Saia would buy a union carrier. It is hard enough merge two nonunion or union companies together...
That would be like FedEx trying hard to stay nonunion then turning around and buying a union carrier.
Talk about a camel going through the eye of a needle.
It would be easier for a nonunion company to go union than a union company to go nonunion...
that was the point i was making, . there maybe a couple of companies that only have a handfull of terminals that are non union that would be willing to sell but would it be worth the expense and time to convert rather than open one new terminal at a time and expand slowly
