I think there is a real chance here to make a BIG difference in the LTL industry! If YRC folds, theres going to be a BIG hole in the LTL market that will need to be filled fast!
No company out there has the man power in place to take the onslaught of freight without hiring us!
"IF" we can ALL be men, and realize our worth as experienced LTL drivers, and DO NOT take a driving job for less then 100% scale!
They need us!! if there not getting anyone to fill there holes, there going to have to sweeten the deal!!
unemployment will last about a year! the trucking company's wont if they don't find drivers to deliver the freight! And for any of those who remember the last time we went on strike for a month, the non union carriers tried to cash in on our customers! what happened was they lost more of there old customers then they gained new ones do to not being able to service all the influx of freight! the same will happen here!
Use your heads guys!! this just might be the BEST opportunity we've had in a LONG time!!
