Preston/Yellow/Roadway/New penn by: Dennis Shipman
Yep. Very true. I used to pull for New Penn. I was the youngest road driver out of the Trenton terminal. This was close to twenty years ago, and the top guys there at the list were pulling down $60k to $70/annum.
Those days are long gone, though. Hoffa has compromised the Master Freight Agreement with give backs to the point of virtually emasculating it.
So, the days of $100/annum union drivers will shortly go the way of the dinosaur sorry to say.
