Yellow | Time To Challenge YRC Purchased Transportation

Aw, come on. You know it's so much easier to bit*h and moan here on TB than to actually do the legwork involved to track the situation..
And we pay the union to do what?
Shouldn't we help our own cause by observing, questioning, recording, and reporting? There are many more of us than there are Union oficials.
By observation the road men are getting screwed. I'm surprised there is no sign in-out sheets for the PTS. The magnitude of PTS use in Dallas is unbelievable. I'm open to help but the hall needs to take the lead on this. Someone said at 309 the PTS sheets are open to see sounds like a something all terminals should be required to do.

Sign in and out sheets are a waste of paper.
Only the honest drivers use them.
Only the honest drivers use them.
The dispatch recaps for PTS are from the union. They are compiled by the IBT and distributed by the affected Locals.

Sorry but YRC didn't send the reports to me they send them to the local union.
“YRC shall report in writing on a monthly basis to each Local Union affected and to the Freight Division, the number of trailers tendered to any purchased transportation provider. YRC Freight also shall report the carrier’s name (including DOT number), origin, destination, trailer/load number, trailer weight and the time the trailer/load leaves YRC Freight's yard. In addition, YRC Freight shall, on a quarterly basis, unless otherwise required, send to the office of the National Freight Director a report containing all of the above indicated information in addition to the total number of miles YRC Freight utilized with purchased transportation, inclusive of the type of PTS utilized, including whether the purpose was for avoiding empty miles, overflow or one-time business opportunities such as product launches.”

If the info on PTS goes to the hall and is not available for the rank & file to see exactly what do you file a grievance on.
Individual grievances are filed every day. The strange part is one would think a grievance would change behavior but the company has a pocket full of our money to pay them with (15% & pension contributions) and that's how they conduct business now. Just think if they weren't so arrogant and stupid or both we could make a profit. Be interesting to know how much they pay out in grievances nationwide I know in Dallas it is a lot of money
Trust but verify. If the men on the job keep count of PTS and then compare that to what is sent by the company we can see if the count is accurate. No harm done in checking.

JH,Jr. agrees, it's none of your business...LOL.. He cut a new deal..
When the Germans invaded France, did the French ask to plant more tulips?
Correct al. The binder I see at 135 is computer printed. Not Driver chicken scratch, like our sign in-out sheets.
Sign out sheets are a joke i mentioned some one that has not used it for 3 months, at 309 i just recently found a sheet for july pts , there as transparent as obuma administration. And we pay dues they should do something other than steal our money at the hall. I would have expected some kinda hear u go this is what running out of 309 pts wise so keep an eye out and file and keep records, but asking since march or so has netted the stapled paper for july pts thus far that i see has been gone now. This place is a mess, disorganized , and non engaged. That goes for most of our drivers and our union so far as i can see.
