      @2dronetek2.....I would be curious to know - - how many people are too ignorant about the trucking industry to know that Yellow / Roadway is basically a local, LTL
      operation that only forwards freight from their local hubs and is not a long-haul type of carrier. People are stupid and think "trucks are trucks" and
      have no clue about the different aspects of different carriers. The dumb trucker convoy was made up of owner operators - not unionized local delivery
      companies. Additionally, these trucks burn DIESEL fuel - not gas. There is a difference there as well - - the more you DON'T know.........

    Too bad they're only going to take any action against the little guys who got a couple thousand and let the rich stay rich

    I work for yellow and haven’t see a dollar of the 700 million. The company cries poverty and spends dollars to save Pennie’s. A very poor business model

    I worked at Yellow for a few years and it's ran really badly but nobody wants to be responsible for the loss of so many unionized jobs. This clip might be more funny now than it originally was just bc either party is gonna save them forever. It's a PR nightmare but now the Treasury Department will absorb a third of the loss if it goes down. And Congress guaranteed the pensions (hope you are vested).

      Been here for 10 yrs vested. Honestly if I left I’d make more $ just about anywhere else. Union says we gonna get more $. Ya sure this company don’t profit and they spend dollars to save Pennie’s. It’s a complete joke. My strike fund is ready.
