We are needing to contact any retired Georgia Hwy Express Drivers in the
Norcross/ Atlanta area. Please email me at

help.

Deregulation Decimated the Old Trucking Culture.
Nearly 500 trucking companies,
mostly unionized, have disappeared from the highways. Many of the employees that
worked for these companies expected their employment to last a life time. Now 25 years later, many of these employees are nearing retirement, and
we are sure these drivers and employees are looking back to the “great old
teamster truckin' days”. We know now, it was a unique professional culture of it’s
own.
Do you wonder what happened to your fellow drivers? Employees with past
employers? Or about the many you might have CB-ed with in the “good old
days”?
Then join us here at Retired Teamsters!
Not a Driver? Please feel free to still contact us and we will list you under
your company. We welcome ALL teamsters. We are truly sorry for this oversight
when creating this website.
Renew or develop friendships with
drivers and employees from the great ole freight haulin' companies of the old
teamster truckin' days . Since we are a brand new
site, our pages are not yet full. If you are a retired, semi retired, or nearly
retired teamster, we ask you to help us fill our pages with your wonderful
teamster biographies!
CLICK HERE and email us your story and photo and we will add you to our
Teamsters Hall of Fame! And if you are a relative of a teamster who has since
passed away, we welcome you to submit their photos and biographies as well.
Our hopes in creating this site is to save for generations to come our
rich teamster heritage, and to honor all of the great retired teamsters that we
now so lovingly refer to as 'Fathers of the Modern Day Trucking Industry'.

Disclaimer: This site is not authorized by the Teamster Organization nor
is it controlled by in any way by the teamsters unions. It truly has been
constructed for the sole purpose of rekindling the friendships among just a
bunch of old teamsters that fondly remember the unique old teamster para-trucking
culture. This site will not ever take the place of local union websites, nor
will it ever try. Our goal is to simply help bring retired teamsters together
and save this rich teamster history for generations to come.
