Who is hiring, and for what??? Do you think the economy is good? Unemployment over, or near 8% for 5 straight years. 10 million less people working now then at the end of 2008.

id say we lost nearly 300 from Stroudsburg 120 since this started and had casuals working ,dock can say more about this but id say they lost 100-150 from Kernersville and since the merge 150 never got called back from charlotte but have casuals working there too.more like a kick in the nuts than a slap in the face
Looking to hire at least 5 city and a few road here. Outbound is over 1.4 million pounds per night inbound averages 1060 bills per day.

I know, crazy. We have over 150 guys in layoff from the dock. The company seems to think that they don't have enough manpower to get through the freight and want to work casuals. They have the manpower but would rather play games. I don't agree with this at all and just goes to show what kind of company we work for (own). DS
Who owns your business; that you speak of? Young Grasshopper??? Answer the question....
What does that have to do with it. You said nobody is hiring, I proved you wrong.
Another proved you wrong jenny
I guess the same situation is playing over and over at other barns.
What can WE do about it?
Management runs our barn, light on labor, and then complain no one will answer their phone.
That is their reasoning behind bringing in cartage and casual labor.
I know for a fact if management would post enough physical bids, the laid-off employees would return to work without a problem.
After all this "flexibility," then management wonders why no one is willing to work OR for all that matters, why even answer the phone.
We actually had a supervisor tell an employee "be lucky you have a job" 2 weeks ago.
Little does he realise, he will be seeking out employment elsewhere, just like us.

Idiot management are the ones who are lucky to have a job. If this company closes, the freight doesn't dissapear. The will be a need for drivers to haul the freight. Other companies already have clipboard monkeys, managers, and other supervisory clowns in place. They won't need them. So next time explain to him how HE is lucky to have a job.
So, YRC Freight is hiring in some places also. But, overall the ECONOMY is still stagnant; to flat.
You're talking over their head.
Nobody was talking about the economy. Someone said competitors are hiring. You asked who. Two examples were given. Get over youself missy.
You must be jenny's boyfriend huh noStones?
Lol! Wow, talk about a Jr High type of response.
It's doubtful he made it to Jr. High.
I asked who was hiring, and for what.. YRC companies are hiring also. You, and your partner did not say that.
If you had payed attention to the thread, Jen was referring to the reason for the slow freight. So no one proved him wrong.
