Yep, your old Lazy J and Akers motor lines, Roadway, were the big dogs in Charl in past years.I bet most of us on here did.
I started my first trucking job in Michigan after I left the USMC in 1973. Moved to New Mexico in 1981 and started the best job I ever had with Roadway Express the same year. Retired 28 years later, about six months after the merger with Yellow.They were a lot of good outfits in Charl in those days, I still think I had the better job.
