Just reading the last three paragraphs, one can see that this woodtv.com needs a better editor or proof reader/fact checker. I counted at least three mistakes.

According the company's website, the primary focus is handling time-sensitive LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) freight.

Alvan Motor Frieght was founded in 1941 by Van Zoeren's family and employs about 525 people.

There are terminals in Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Romulus, Saginaw, Jackson, Mesick and Alpena in Michigan including several others in Ohio and Indiana.

You guys need to have a nation wide strike for a couple of days show the country what happens if the trucks don't run. Enough is enough it is high time we drilled here so our people can afford to work.. Hell all it will really take is the threat that we are about to start drilling and the prices will drop to keep our oil off the market. Are we going to just stand by while they take everything away????
