Tribute to Old Trucking Companies (fallen Flags)

What song is this ??

Most of them companies closed while I was still a kid, but I'm sure my dad remember's most of these companies. It's just sad to know that a company closes and places other driver's out of work. I got laid off from a job I loved and it felt like the world was ending. I can just imagine how they felt. Nice to see them old trucks though!

Heres a few...P.I.E/RIP 1982 ..S.E.X/R.I.P 1987..Wests Best..RIP / 1994...Great Vid Bro..Gunney

Thank you for this.I worked for Overnite and now UPS Frt. Our trailers used to say "Our people make the difference." They don't anymore and I mean "they don't". :-(

The Yellow name may not be one of the big three if they continue to struggle financially. I think it may Be FedEx Freight Ups Freight and Conway!

This is a great video. I have been driving non stop for 25 years now. Back in the early days of my driving career,I ran with many of the drivers of many of these companies, all of which were much older than me at the time. They were great to talk with on the CB, they were all damn good men, and damn good drivers. Makes me sad to think of what happenned to them. Thanks a lot deregulation... you threw out the baby with the bathwater.

WOW! makes you think, whats happening. Is there going to be just 1 big company in the end. Scary. Thanks for posting, great job.

How sad is this, once all great companies. When you look at my resume, looks like I have worked for five carriers but it really was only two. Sure the unions didn't help but the management team doesn't either. I worked for USF when Yellow purchased them, their stock was $58.00 now down to $4.70 as of this writing.

I miss my job at Overnite... I was "forced out" in '95 :(

You will be able to add Oak Harbor Freight Lines to this soon if the Vander pol's don't come come back to reality soon.

Being a trucker for 29 years, it was bittersweet to watch this. Kind of makes me wonder: The only 3 names in LTL, will be UPS, Yellow, & Fed Ex.

Thanks for the memories, you forgot about American Freight being bought by FedEx also.

The greedy teamster comment is right! After 14 years of being a teamster, you think they could pull some strings with a union carrier to get you a job... but they don't! Alvan Motor Freight can be added to this list as well. All USF Holland drivers be prepared, the writing is on the wall, the orange and white trucks are going to up on this tribute as well, sad to say. Hopefully I am wrong. Great Tribute Video!!

i dont know if there the same company but gordons is still in turlock, ca.

You can thank the greedy corupt Teamsters for the loss of so many good companies...
