Nice picture
That pic somehow shows to me a quiet peaceful era in our history. I don’t know why, it just does….. Call me crazy if you want
Not all of that time was peaceful. Organizing the trucking industry was not easy. Organizers were often attacked by hired thugs. We have it relatively easy compared to the Teamster pioneers of that era.
could be a Sunday..back when few people worked and stores were not open unlike today
Crazy, I wanted!

I don't know if this is the right thread.
This is TOSE INC. Owned by Leonard Tose who got rich in the business around Philly. And bought the Philadelphia Eagles.
Sad story is he became an alcoholic and gambling addict and lost everything in Atlantic City.
We had 2 brothers whose father was a Steward at Tose.

I noticed that the owner of the Philadelphia 76ers is owner of the company who somehow is involved in Yellow's debt. The company is Apollo.
I remember Tose. I could be wrong but I think they had a terminal in Ridgefield, NJ for a time.I don't know if this is the right thread.

I looked something up. It said he had 700 trucks.
I don't know if they were based in Bridgeport PA. That's right next to Norristown. Near Valley Forge and King Of Prussia. We ran that area until one of Yellow's COO'S.
I think he bought Fowler Williams in Scranton. He painted all their trucks pink
What else would you expect in Scranton?
