Freight Lines

ABF bought Youngblood, headquarters were North Carolina in 1971. Also Red Arrow was part of the WorldWay/Carolina acquisition. ABF also bought some operating rights from Great Lakes Express.
I didn't notice Ringsby listed or ET/WNC (East Tennessee/Western North Carolina) or Western Gillette. I will think of some more later.
 
Wooster, Burgmeyer. O'Donnels(not sure about the spelling-based in Maine I think) Old Colony, Spector, Graf, M&M, Lombard, Monahan, Quinn, Yale, Beacon Fast Freight. All based in Northeast. All union to the best of my knowledge.
 
Pen-Yan was not a subsidiary of consolidated freightways they were part of con-way. con-way shut them down because they were teamsters up the east coast. the men didn't vote in con-way non union work rule's. it in the book never stand still the history of cnf and Leland James.
