Screw Weyerhauser for what they did to a fine company.

Work for Willamette in Bellmawr N.J. for 12 years, yes Weyco screwed the whole thing up. like many good old freight jobs it was the job of lifetime really good guy's. The Company was great to be a part of, really miss it.

I didn't realize that Willamette had operations on the East Coast. I am guessing the companies that I mentioned would be Greek to you.

Heard of Oak Harbor. Willamette had mills and corrugated plants here in the east. There was a forms plant in Langhorne PA, corrugated in Bellmawr, ink and corrugated in Delaware Ohio. The plant that I drove out of started life as Western Kraft paper then it died as Weyerhaeuser. we had 9 trucks after our contract was up they showed us the door. it cost them more to use a company called Systems Freight who was in bed with local Weyco people, that's a long story. Never figured out how we were cheaper and supplied better service. Weyco still has a plant in Barrington N.J. 2 miles or so from my old plant at one time they had weyco trucks running out of there, now they use septic systems for both plants. The weyco plant in Closter N.J. about 90 miles north of Bellmawr burnt to ground a few months ago, really broke my heart ,we did work between all three New Jersey plants, but that's history.
