F.S.S. IS (or was) one of Matty's companies, as he had one by me, in Janesville, WI. It was set up for the GM plant, that is now closed. Just from listening to the employees there, it was quite evident that Matty just HATED that place, and the ONLY reason why it was still union, was because it HAD to be, to get into the plant. We used to deliver parts to them (F.S.S.) all the time, then those guys would sort it out, and deliver the parts to different parts of the plant. We could go into the plant, and did, but there was only one area for LTL trucks to go, to pick up stuff. Most all the deliveries were done through F.S.S. The very second the GM plant closed, F.S.S. was also closed!
And, to respond to "DayliteDean", the owner/operators were STILL in CT in '06, as there were 2, or 3 still there when I got hired. One quit, but the other two stayed on as o/o's, until sometime in '07, and then were transitioned to company drivers. As to when the union itself was pushed out, I'm not certain, but I can't imagine Matty still having o/o's 30 years later!
