So. What else is new? Short drivers everywhere. (not in height)
That's how the present drivers get all the pay they lost is through overtime!
All is hunky dory.

I like how you comment on your own post.
Anyone who has been on the greener grass can answer the above questions for you.
Health care is top notch and equipment is improving. Need to fix the pension issue but a new hire would not be impacted my by that. Would like to see wages improve but common sense would tell you quality and productivity need to improve for that to happen. Probably easier to blame your new supervisor than yourself after you have done the job since he was in 5th grade. Was thinking about common sense today when I was unloading 400 poundstoves that were crushing the 100 pound cartons of hardware they were loaded on. Where was the supervisor to tell that dockman not to load the heavy freight on the light freight and they close the trailer at 30 percent floor?

The culture here has to improve first and fast, the environment here is hostile and toxic..
Who are the people really running this outfit? The upper management or shareholder who are calling the shots.
Management is just happy that we show up to work to move the freight and work you as much as you want. They don't want to fire you cause they can't get anyone to work them.
Even if someone does apply and works there they leave with the amount of pay and 15% deduction. Even the current workforce tells the prospective employee to not to waste their time to work there. Trust me it is a waste of time and aggrevation

Toxic.
Toxic.
Toxic.
Since we joined together I have never disliked where I worked more in my life.
The statement you posted all true.
Anything short of murder will not get you terminated.
They beg for overtime like a five year old.
When I say no. I mean no. So don't ask again after I say no.
I didn't put them in the position of more Frt than people.
And trust me. It's busy where I am.
We are closed Saturday. But they worked 21 Saturday's in a row.
As for new hires.
We talk to them. Some see the light. Some need the job. I understand.
We even got a young supervisor to move on. Well. Two of them.
It's like a prison. It corrupts you. So go. Now. Before you get stuck.
I have no pride in it anymore. Don't get me wrong. I do my job and don't mess up customers Frt.
But. You want a weight correction? Nope. Customers first. Not gonna screw em for another dollar so the managers can get a cut of the 20 grand we get on weight corrections every month. We don't get a cut. Box of donuts.
But I like what you said. In the post.
Sums it all up pretty well and what I think.
Good job!
It has let me express and get things off my chest. And most understand.
Have a good holiday everyone.
After all it is "Labor" day.

i always thought that we were way more valuable to them than they would ever admit . we have the knowledge they will never know .Once we go they are screwed .one thing management will never have is experience .dock will be finished and great driver will probably be gone from the road too . if they hadnt put a stop to our pensions and everyone left, what would they have done ?. they knew just what they were doing . now they have most by the short hairs and just keep twisting them . good luck !!!!

You are correct. They have always kept up their workforce. Mixing old with new. It kept them going. Old taught the new. Whether they knew it or not.
And yes. We are the most valuable asset they have right now. We are worth more than what they pay. We know how to do it without the paper pushers.
Some may laugh. But as you said as we slowly retire and leave the more problems they are having. Experience is invaluable.

Myself as well as most of us still here are the MVP's of the YRC. DON't get me wrong I still do my job and take care of the customers. My realization came when I got hurt and thought I would be out a couple of days. Turns out it was a month and the first week they wanted me to come back before I was healed up.
They called and texted me for that first week and when I told them I would be back in a month. Not a call after that as I found out that it was not my health they were worried about but their safety bonus record was in jeopardy .
"My pride died that day for this company...Like a love affair gone bad you feel like you don't know who we are or where we're going after this"
As we self reflect the future of YRC is with us not the blind sighted decisions from up above. Going back to reflect if they never cut or force so many of our fellow brothers and sisters to leave. We wouldn't be having the issues that YRC is having now.

I hope someone from Overland Park is reading this and actually gives a damn. It's going to bite them in the ass eventually, and it's going to affect a lot of guys who can't retire yet, and further cripple CSPF, which will hurt a lot more. And I hope some folks from my outfit and other carriers are reading this as well, as to not fall into the same trap.
its the same old story time and again . they down size and transfer guys around the country then cant figure out how to get it done without them , they get what they wanted . many wont transfer and just leave ,others quit or retire .
they sent most of those guys to kernersville then two years later once settled to charlotte .gezzzz shocking they cant get people to work there for $14 per hour
