YELLOW FREIGHT GOES TOES UP AFTER BAILOUT

By Bob Walsh



Yellow Freight is huge.  They received a $700 million pandemic loan from the government 3 years ago but by the time you read this they will have probably shut down.  Not cut back.  Shut down.

This will mean 30,000 jobs will be gone.  Some of those people will find work elsewhere.  Freight still needs to move.  However it seems likely that the government will take it in the shorts for a significant chunk of principle and interest to the tune of about $730 million.  Yellow Freight has sought help from the Harris-Biden administration in their dealing with the Teamsters Union.  So far Joe and Kamala have been too busy doing other really important shit.  

The company directed employees take their personal belongings and tools kept at the terminals home with them on Friday so they would not necessarily be considered company property come the shutdown.
