YRC Freight to move to smaller Toledo site

[R-14Driver]

Transportation firm YRC Freight Inc. is moving from the former Roadway Express truck terminal at 6180 Hagman Rd. in Toledo to the former Yellow Transportation terminal at 4431 South Ave., the company said Monday. It has been trying to sell the Hagman Road terminal for about a year, although a price has not been disclosed.

YRC Freight, formed in 2003 through a merger of Yellow Transit and Roadway Express, said the move will not affect its Toledo-area operations and is being done to cut costs. Suzanne Dawson, a YRC Freight spokesman, said she could not say when the move will be completed.

The Hagman Road terminal, built in 1975, has 106,000 square feet and 204 docking bays. The South Avenue terminal, built in 1964, has 13,000 square feet and 41 bays.

Although greatly accelerated since the merger, the Toledo facility has been in decline since the 1993 COO. That's when 309 got the triples operation. 251 lost over 200 road drivers in that change.

Somehow selling 251 and moving the operation to South St didnt fit into the synergy savings until now.. But South st is such prime realestaste, with all the outside theft, and the fine upstanding neighbors just 2 blocks away the property has to have some value??

Heard they are tryin to keep all the work being done over there hush-hush, so all the upstanding neighbors wont welcome themselves to more freebies.Value? yeh dig a big hole next to it and call it a landfill that you can start filling by bulldozing the south st. terminal into.That turd should have been flushed years ago.Just my opinion though.
