i am actually still trying to understand Yellow's pricing. the story we as drivers always got was companies such as Home Depot are notoriously cheap and control the pricing. they dictated to the trucking companies what they would pay. NEMF & Estes were their main carriers. out went NEMF, in came Yellow and New Penn. although NP & NEMF competed for the same regional freight, NP would not go near Home Depot. that is until Yellow said so. rates never changed, only the carriers, is the story that was floated around. Yellow wanted the volume but clearly couldn't provide the service. now they're listed as one of Yellow's creditors to the tune of $1.2 million
