OK guys....got a little rest after an 19 hour hearing on the COO. I got our part finished 03:00 am this morning.

The Company's numbers were wrong on the bill count, just like I have said on here all along. After keeping a daily tab for the past 11 weeks, we proved their numbers were wrong and gave the report to the Committee, After a very long delay, the Committee came back and told the Company to re-crunch those numbers again. They did admit they were not a good bill count.

The daily average that they reported was 45,000 per day. You have to do better than that each day in order to average 45K. After seeing our compilation of the last 11 weeks, of an 41,450 per day average, they admited a problem and reduced the moves of employees by 10%....based on a 41,500 a day bill count average.

Now, this did not stop them from taking Linehaul drivers out of EOL terminals, it just gave those guys a better chance at getting somewhere. Some will be following their work, some will be in a bidding pool. The final ruling should be out sometime next week is my early guess.

Hell, all they had to do was check out TruckingBoards, as, we have been telling them for weeks their numbers were wrong all along.....and yesterday, we proved it!

Gettin' packed and leaving here at 2 PM.....that is ALL I have to say about what went on....the rest will be in the final decession...so hold the questions for when that comes out....By the way...NONE of your Locals that were here did not rubber stamp NOTHING....they ALL raised hell to the Company about the lies and crap that is going on....I just wished I could have taped it all, as you have been proud of them all!......KK
 
Thanks KK for your hard work and providing information from Dallas, here in Knoxville we are EDL terminal and we hope our drivers can keep their work some with 20+ years.

The number is still the same. 1-(800)-610-6500 press 5, then press 0, to get an operator from YRC.

I think he was asking about the BID NUMBERS CHANGING not the PHONE NUMBER !!! :biglaugh:
 
I heard through the rumor mill that the phone bid could be as soon as April 5th, and they want everyone at their new domicile by the April 18... Is there any truth to this??

Hey KK,
I was at the change also, and what you said is the truth. The meeting was exhausting, but I was proud of our panel and all of those agents that went to the table with the facts and stood firm to the company. I was out of the central and opposed the change around 1130pm. YRC has got to get it together brother. How'd you like Tyson's go to h*ll hat? I read truckingboards every now and then, you always tell it like it is... great job, brother[quote author=Kennesaw Kid link=topic=78659.msg816442#msg816442 date=1269563195]
ALSO...it was a pleassure to meet you Codebreaker @ the COO hearing!

Thanks Drummer....it was nice of Tyson to mention that we (Local 728) was responsibile in changing the numbers due to our challenging the company on their daily bill counts.....it was right here on TruckingBoards the whole time!.....KK[/quote]
