Yellow | Interesting ?

Sometimes I thinks the powers that be are having some sort of a pipe dream.
Really! I mean it!
One of the lowest pay scales in L.T.L. And even at those Terminals that will now start you at the top rate there still not a lot of takers.
Besides that fact that hardly no one wants to drive a truck anymore, (Which is a common problem with ALL trucking companies) YRC seems to think that people should flock through the door looking for one of their jobs.
How's that working out for you?
Just another symtom of what I call "Lack of warm body itis"!!
Now add to that all the problems involved with working for a YRCW company and it's a wonder anybody applies.
I really don't think I need to go into details.
 
we had a job fair, very poorly advertised. 4 men 1 day, 1 man the next day. we are about to become a break with 13 dock, 3 coming and expected to need more than 40. three casuals come in at times

And do they really think they are gonna pump freight through you terminal with the overabundance of Man power you have?
Again I gotta ask,
What in the hell are they thinking?
 
REALLY , why do you guys continue no see the problem

Oh there a problem alright , its just nobody wants to admit it , or they put it aside hoping the problem will go away . Well the problem is not going away boys , its going to get worse . specially when the ELDS come into affect cause the high mileage boys wont be able to run they way the once did . Yrcw is playing patch work with there freight now , trying to get other terminals to cover there over flow .How long do you think that can go on .

Yrcw doesn't repect there workers now and never will , they think there managers and dispatchers are more important , than the average worker .
they re hire managers that have been fired in the past for harressment or wrongfull termination just cause they cant find people to fill the spots .
I have a terminal manager that been fired 2 times . Second time was cause yrcw had to pay out 300k in a wrongful termination case . But they fired him then brought him back . Only months later 15 employees line up to file a harrressment complaint . and what happen to him . He got a letter.
And you wonder why people wont come work here ? Cause now the ex employee has the right to post on a blog like this or Indeed and they tell others what they think about the place . And you don't think people in this age don't do there homework on a company before they apply . I certainly did , or are we a load of dumb truck drivers like management thinks . And need management to think for us , and anyone who does think for thenselves wont be working for yrcw much longer . But yrcw doesn't have 40 drivers line up to work here like they did years ago .

And that's a problem cause I know our board has lost 14 drivers in the last 2 years and has only been able to replace one driver . Even the truck driver school refuses to send then new students , but the real problem is half our board will be gone in the next 3 to 5 years If they cant replace the drivers they are loosing , now how are they ever going to replace the drivers about to retire .

you guys talk about people buying us . why would anyone buy us . they just have to wait for the company to fold cause they cant move the freight the currently have . So if they cant grow and move more freight . How on earth are they going to get out of debt. . They cant and they know that and so does your UNION cause that was a major decussion in there spring meeting in vegas . That YRCW down fall will Be cause They cant find drivers to move there freight and its just time before they FOLD .

But even if they find drivers the new drivers I have found have no interest in working 60- 70 hrs a week . they want to work no more than 50 hrs a week . So that means more drivers to replace the ones that do move the freight leave due to fired , retire or new job offers . Which means yrcw to pay more in benefits holidays etc which they cant afford .

AND YOU GUYS HAVE STATED THIS COMPANY HAS NO INTEREST IN CHANGE , OR LISTENING TO EMPLOYEEES CONCERNS .
 
Hiring Short Drivers is an easily solved problem. Yrc just has to get Wrench to move the seats forward. Personally, i need the seats further back for my 9' long legs!
So does your company make a "tall mans ", size product??

Sounds expensive. My wife says she's gonna have the mortician break my knees and fold my calves under my thighs. Some days she says she's gonna cut them off and stuff them in a certain orifice.....
