AAA Cooper | Additional Terminals

[Yamsho150]

Looks like AAA is in the process of opening an additional 12 or so additional terminals. My buddy retired from there a couple of years ago, we were having a few beers this weekend and he mentioned it.

That is good news but, it would be a lot of cost to open that many at the same time unless they are buying another carrier and getting equipment and personnel

Swift owns them and said they want to buy more ltl companies

I now Swift owned the old Yellow terminal in Avenel, NJ-943 Omar Ave. They ran a truckload operation out of there for at least 10-15 years now

T Force is struggling so they may want to keep an eye on them.

Swift won’t buy a union company

That should tell you all you need to know. If it involves actually taking care of their people, they're "not home".

From what I understand one of the terminals you guys got is Quincy, Illinois. I retired from Yellow Dec 31, 2016. Worked 40 1/2 years of which 33 were in that building. It is really a nice place. On the edge of Quincy. Deer, coyotes and occasional turkey on the yard. Quincy is only 40,000 people. I still live only 2.2 miles from there.

AAA purchased an old Roadway terminal in Dayton Ohio. Their closest terminal is about an hour away. I wonder if they will expand?

Cherryvale KS and Forest City AR .... small barns that Fedex shuttered

They also bought the Lewisburg Tennessee FedEx terminal. Fedex said it wasn't profitable. Lol Swift seams to think otherwise.

This is good. I like to hear l.t.l companies growing. Competition is good.

Just saw today on Muddy River News from Adams County Recorder of Deeds. AAA/Cooper paid $4,025,000 for the Yellow terminal in Quincy Illinois. I worked there when Yellow bought it in Hall's Motor Freight Bankruptcy for $80,000.

Just asking. Quincy IL terminal looks like 20 doors on google maps , 4 Million . I must be looking at the wrong building 2620 n 36th st seems a lot for a little building in a smaller town

From what i heard some bidders really didn't get a deal on some of Yellows properties. Heard that Estes management was asked why they did not bid on the Carlisle PA terminal Yellow had and they said its was not a deal for what it went for. It was basically market price. So some of Yellows properties went for top dollar. Which makes me wonder why Yellow didn't try to sell off a little to stay running.
