Yellow | The merger begins

How far is Walnutport from Gilbert? That's our furthest south from Scranton

About 20 miles.
I've been thru Gilbert with New Penn.
I think I've taken the straight truck as far as Albrightsville and Jonas. Kresgeville is up there somewhere too.
We have a customer in Jim Thorpe right near 903 and 476.

I used to deliver Cosmos on 209 in Gilbert. Not my area anymore

The old timers told me that the competion in regulated trucking was focused on service.

Your deregulated world has wrecked that. It's a world of scams, waste, junk, and deception.

Dishonesty dominates truth in your favored ideology.
Pretty dumb world.

Your right Slave, they sold service not discounts

Disagree with what! Drink more yellow kool aid

Better to be quiet and let people think you are crazy, than to speak up, and prove them correct.

In money bags, double stacked, on a 102 wide, 53’ RDWY trailer, # 353657, spotted in a customer’s yard in Walnutport, PA.

i thought it was in an old painted over PIE trailer sitting in the back lot of Seabree's southern plantation.

When I started NP a long time ago they used to preach it to us every morning.

“All we sell is service “

And we used to pass out bags of New Penn candy. People still ask for that

And that left when they started with the 53's.
Too much thinking required to load them to the hilt.
Too late with damages delays the inbound.

So what do we have left?

Nothing.
Just keep going to work to pay the bills waiting for the next concessions or breaking down of conditions or loss of seniority thru changes of Ops.
Rude it out until it happens I guess.
And it will because the system is not to serve customers. It's to serve execs and shareholders only.
Everybody else pays for it.

Another supervisor at Scranton is quitting. Tomorrow’s his last day. That’s like three or four we had in eighteen months
