Just in the name of accuracy, Roadway Services didn't start Viking Freight. They purchased them along with Spartan, Central, Coles, Roberts Express, Holmes Canada and NWC Truckload. They started Roadway Package System only.
And by the way, they did all that with the profits from the core Business, Roadway Express Inc.
After they spun Express off debt free, they changed the name of the Holding Company to Caliber Systems.
Roadway Express, then a stand alone Company, bought Reimer and New Penn
And that all happened without asking its workforce for any reduction in Wages, Vacation Weeks or Pension Contribution relief !
Just sayin !
