"The move is a shrewd one by NEMF. First off, it immediately expands their offerings for international shippers seeking crossborder solutions. Secondly, it takes a direct shot at the longer-haul, unionized LTL carriers such as the financially ailing YRC Worldwide companies.

Guess no one else extracted this tidbit? Hmmph.
The road guys that turn down from Toronto are owner ops. Victor was a really good guy - he helped me find the Toronto terminal when dispatch was bending me over for more lovin'.
Good Luck Vic!!
Not all the growth has come easily. Along the way Shevell went through an acrimonious but ultimately successful fight with the Teamsters Union to have his company de-listed. "I saw what union contracts did to the airline industry after it was deregulated, and I wasn't going to put the noose around my neck," he says. "I've never been anti-union. I've been anti-stupidity."
Quote by Shevell from another Shulz article in 1998:

Is this a good thing abouit NEMF or a bad thing about NEMF?
I think it's a glimpse into the relationship between him and the writer - John Shulz. They seem to have a close personal friendship in which Myron reveals to him he is truly thinking.
Shulz is the same writer and friend that wrote the other glowing article about the stability and growth of NEMF and it's expansion into the long-haul trucking lanes......
