Yellow based in OP, will buy Roadway and stay based in OP....great news to bring more jobs and more revenue to the metro.

Do you have any numbers on jobs added?

actually not sure how many more jobs will be added....more likely just tax base, Yellow will probably just tuck all of roadway's stuff right under their admin staff.

Yellow would be a great company to have Downtown. As a transportation company they would be a natural fit near Union Station or the Riverfront. Anyone up for a border raid?

payback for Midland loan.

You would think Yellow would need a bigger HQ with more infrastructure.....

Plus... Waddell and Reed, Black and Veatch, American Identity, Reece and Nichols, Academy of Family Physicians, Sprint, etc.

we should be the bigger state and just steal from CO or CA

Hey, we're stealing Waddell & Reed back probably too

doesn't sound like many more jobs....just Yellow will be the parent company and hence move up the Fortune 500 I would think.
