Teamsters Local 89 has organized a group of workers at Squirrelly LLC, a newly established carhaul company based in Stone Mountain, Georgia. The company recently began operations at the Kentucky Truck Plant with a team of former Jack Cooper drivers — all of whom proudly signed union cards and joined the Teamsters. Drivers will be covered under the National Master Automobile Transporters Agreement (NMATA).



“I was a nonunion carhauler until Jack Cooper hired me in 2012. That’s when I first experienced what it meant to be respected, paid fairly, and treated right,” said Todd Davis, one of the first drivers hired by Squirrelly LLC. “When Jack Cooper collapsed, I thought those days might be over, but thanks to the Teamsters, I’m proud to be working under the NMATA again. We’re building something new here, and we’re making history with a minority-owned company that believes in doing things the right way.”
