May 25, 2010

Cargo Carriers Pose Conundrum for Air Safety Bill | www.buffalonews.com

The nation's two small parcel giants--UPS and FedEx--are locked into a high-stakes lobbying war in Washington that could spell the end of FedEx's non-union status for its tens of thousands of truck drivers.

Trailer Sales To Be Fed By Major Fleets Planning For CA “SmartWay-type” Mandate
