Took my road test with Duff in 1976, then did casual for Bender Loudon until my auto hire after 30 days of steady work for Bender Loudon. (Teamster rule) Worked for them until 1982. Then they kind of went out of business, but I guess they are back.

No Bender Loudon is long gone, their barn in Richfield, Ohio was empty for a long time before New England Motor Freight moved in, and, well, you remember how that worked out!

I remember when Bender Loudon left Richfield and moved to Akron, that was when I left them and went owner operator. My best friend stayed with them until the end and ended up getting screwed for a month of wages. I see a truck that is not one of our fleet, being a newer White. That is why I thought they had gone back into business
 
I made pickups in Chicago for APA working at M.J. Seiwert cartage company when Chicago had many midsized union cartage companies
