Buttonman very well stated. We can all sympathize with the closure of a company that you give half your life to. You say you are with Overnite, my first 13 working years was with a carrier very simular to yours.(Thurston Motor Lines) Its amazing how fast a good company can go down when the origin owner sells or turns the bizz over to relatives. Good luck with your plight at UPSF. GRIZZ
