I'm one of the more like 10-12000. There weren't 80,000 there to begin with- let alone that many gone...
How does your post square with your shut er down mentality?? Wouldn't they be worse starting over at even less?
I'm pretty certain it was more like 36-38 thousand. Granted, YRCF is smaller than either Yellow or Roadway were stand alone.
Totally and completely wrong. According to the 2002 (pre-buyout) financial reports Roadway had approx. 27,000 employees (roughly 75% union) and Yellow had 22,000 (not sure what union percentage). So your figure of 100,000 is totally off the mark.
About the time Mr. Back Office Synergy(Zollars), said he would combine many duties of both companies, I remember the total for both companies at 40,000.
Correct me El if I am off.
An article from 1984 states that Tannersville (Stroudsburg) had 900 employees.

I was # 935 on the master, # 311 on the road April 1979
I'm thinking Kearny or Carlstadt p&d with jitterbug.Or a junior corn binder...
Kearny, long before Carlstadt or Spring Valley or West Paterson. Back in the Stash days, 1973.
They are collectors items now. I still have my Doepke construction equipment from the late 1940's (road grader, bottom dump earth mover, cement mixer) and some tractor-trailers (can't quite remember the mfr right now). Saw them on eBay one time with amazing prices.
Or a junior corn binder...
Those are some stylin' "Daytons", on those cornfield Cadillacs.Same truck with a different paint job.
Looks like the Maislin is "pup". The Roadway is a "flyer"!
The Maislin setup was what they let me take home over Labor Day weekend to use to move myself when I bought my house. That's the kind of job that was back then (late 1970's). I think you're right about that trailer being called a P&D "pup". I'm not sure but I think it might have been a 20 or 22 footer. I was road at Maislin so I wasn't that familiar with P&D units That of course was before the advent in the East of the road "pups" of today. The Roadway trailer here in the East was called a jitterbug, a 27 footer I think. We had a bunch of them at PIE also.
