The daytime waitress at White's in Raphine knows the answer better than anybody.
 
magic 8 ball is a genius ! and deserves a generous bonus like all the rest of our leaders.....and dont forget a golden parachute too
 
I think we're going to make it, all the wheeling and dealing, negotiating voting debt swapping refinancing bonus paying teamster sacrificing brothers fighting dues paying pension mauling vacation trimming paycuts ect ect can't be in vein, all this turbulence is supposed to be to give us 5 years to get things better so it won't be a constant near term issue coming up around every quarter(corner) threatening bankruptcy and all that. A long time 5 years is, that's a long time for anything especially a big company. I just didn't see CF putting in all the work and fight to stay in business like us plus cf had the Conway wildcard sucking the life out of them from within, talk about high management bonuses and Wilson fees, try free gas and equipment and terminal expenses Conway enjoyed as host prey draining the life out of cf
 
I just think this yrc thing is a whole new different monster, we don't like the changes because the changes are being paid for disproportionately by us but nevertheless in the end this place seem like it's going to be burning rubber on the roads long after we all are gone, it's a cash cow for management and the banks, a day traders heaven, a career/job for thousands and many venders got feet in the waters as well. Our union members need to get more united and speak with a more stronger unified voice but it sadly seem like we rather fight and let the times change us instead of changing with the times but like I said earlier, we still got plenty of time to get it together and being that we have time, that alone makes us no cf
 
The LTL Industry's goal is getting the Union out of Freight. Its been in the works for decades. IMO, this will happen sooner than later.

I have been amazed at the audacity of people ever since this fiasco started with YRC's financial problems ,some 5 years ago. I used to have drivers from other companies ask me all the time if we were "going out of business". Little did they understand the daily pressure we were under pertaining to our jobs in general, much less understand exactly how rude questions like this were personally. I finally lost it one day with an Estes driver who asked this question, preceded by the statement that he had heard that Estes was going to by us (this was 3 or 4 years ago now). I informed him that we owed more interest on our debts than Estes was worth, so I truly doubted they would be purchasing YRC. I also enlightened him on "people skills 101". I told him that asking me if my company was going bankrupt was the same as asking a person with cancer "how long do you have to live". I then informed him , questions like that made me wonder if he was the first person in his family to walk upright in 100 years.
 
Volnuck, my apologies, I didn't mean it like that. I could understand and appreciate your frustration there. Was asking out of concern, and nothing more. The last thing we need is another Union Freight hauler going under. Again my apologies.

Thank you "sikofitall". Sorry I took it the wrong way. Guess I'm a little too touchy with this subject. It is all good brother.

In the words of one of our past Presidents.

Well, whatever it means, hope I see YRC Freight trucks on the road with me for yearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs down the road.

I don't think his apology is sincere. Go to the Saia Board, click on the expansion thread and read his comments about Union LTL's and YRC.
