This speculation is just for entertainment ( for me ) If we only knew what's next? For a lot of people it is the easiest thing to predict the downfall of this or that company ( simply because so much effed up stuff DOES happen ) Every once in a while it would be nice to see the little guy come out on top.as far as the pension,yrc owes over 100 mil,and that would have to be paid,but I do agree with you,I just think Jacobs realizes or ups for that matter,....your basically throwing that money away.they could better spend it.I think that's why a lot of prospective buyers have stayed away.but it is the freight business,bad decisions made everyday in our racket,nothing would surprise me.
For YRCW employees that have so much of their future tied up in the place and did nothing but go to work everyday , hopefully a $100 million is a drop in the bucket to one of these companies that could buy you out. I personally believe that whoever could buy YRCW is sitting on their hands until the next round of contracts are up and/or there is an economic downturn. In either case , someone will try and get a bargain on ABF or YRCW.
