No i didn't work for them. Just from reading comments on here and trucking articles on them. Sounds like some of the workers were willing to give in and help them again and the Union boss and them had a pissing contest and the workers lost in the end from both parties acting like children.
This is also just a clever move by Estes to make the terminals more expensive for another carrier to buy the lease. Think about it like this, a lease sells for $1m, then the purchaser has to cure the months of unpaid rent (tens of thousands?), plus $500k in repairs. Suddenly buying the lease cost 1.5m-$1.7m or more where Estes can buy the lease back for $1m and write off the unpaid rent and repair costs. PLUS Estes has owned these properties for 14 years now and they’ve paid for themselves many times over.
Possible, but you still expect your tenants to take care of what they are renting. Every place that rents anything have more than paid for the what ever but you are still suppose to maintain it in decent condition if you are the renter. Ive seen a few of the Yellow terminals and they are not in good condition.
Pyle did win an court arbitration for Maspeth, NP had to fix the electrical issues to get a renewed CO from NYC. Pyle did not get the lease cancelled as they wanted but got the lease shortened as part of the arbitration to end early 2027. They had it posted as it was an open public document back then,
Ok. I think I remember that because contractors showed up and started fixing :
:. All I was trying to point out was Estes probably did none of this and now are crying wolf over conditions at these terminals. Oh well, have fun paying lawyers to settle this. Ain't my money
Pretty good article on the disgraceful conditions at several terminals. Reasonable maintenance was nearly nonexistent at some of the terminals. And Estes is balking at footing the repair bills.

The "worn out" workers were not forced to stay in their jobs/careers at the company...nor do they live in a dictator-ruled, socialist society like North Korea. Everyone has their own problems & difficulties - what matters are the choices you make and (positive) actions you take to improve the situation.
TC1, the clown symbol (that you so often reply with) doesn't have any impact on the above facts though - does it? Keep the biased posturing at bay.
Ha! Your SWAG isn't fact, only a guess and you've made some dumb ones. You didn't like the article because it affects your bottom line. I think the clown symbols fits in your case. Besides, living in your head is rent free is so fun.

this is a law firms dream- lots of cash being spentOk. I think I remember that because contractors showed up and started fixing :::
Oh absolutely. And they blame the workers for companies going outta business, not the idiots running the actual business spending unnecessary money
Hey Sportsterfan, another "clown" smiley face from you, even on Christmas Day? You're consistent anyway. Have a Merry Christmas regardless!
They put “high cure” cost on those properties to deter any other companies to bid on “their owned” properties…..
! That would insinuate they knew what they were doing. That's hilarious
