LTL carrier asks appellate court to hear legal challenge in trucking battle
ABF Freight System is taking its legal challenge against concession agreements negotiated by YRC Worldwide and the Teamsters to the U.S. Court of Appeals.
The less-than-truckload carrier filed an appeal of the Dec. 20 district court decision dismissing its case against its competitor with the appellate court in St. Louis.
"ABF respectfully disagrees with the court's decision last month," the company said in a statement. "Therefore, we have chosen to exercise our right to file an appeal."
