Regional LTL operator USF Holland has opened eight new freight terminals in the Northeastern U.S. This marks an attempt to recapture market share lost when its parent company, Chicago-based USF Corp., shut down its USF Red Star subsidiary.
The expansion adds over 100 employees to USF Holland’s staff and terminals in: Baltimore, MD; Albany, NY; Glenmont, NY; Allentown, PA; Harrisburg, PA; Philadelphia, PA; Wilkes Barre, PA; Mountain Top, PA; Syracuse, NY; and Richmond, VA.
USF closed its Red Star subsidiary earlier this year citing revenue losses as a result of a strike initiated by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, which was honored by 1,500 USF Red Star drivers and dockworkers affiliated with the Teamsters when 15 office workers demanded union representation.
