Not defending how our stuff is set up, but it would be interesting to know how much taxes Yellow paid over it's lifetime. Excluding taxes paid by employees.

I would presume they paid the least they were legally obligated to pay, as any normal person or company would do.
Trucks also pay a lot of road use taxes. Some would say not enough, but trucking is not a low-taxed line of business.
It would be interesting to see the net benefit a company had. Obviously putting money in employee pockets is a net benefit, but it stops being so great if tax dollars are just subsidizing bad business leading to a net drain on tax payers
"tax dollars are just subsidizing bad business" is the definition of most bailouts.
courtesy note, but the apostrophe in it's will usually expand to "it is".
Mnemonic hint: "his" doesn't have an apostrophe and "he's" does, and the parts of speech match.
