So , is this the New yrc Holland way , to work all shifts 12 to 14 hours a day , like old yellow dogs , cause they can't get anybody to apply ??? this company is out of control on overtime weekly !!!! hell might as well put campers in parking lot , instead of wasting your time to run home & shower & sleep for a few hours !!! way to much freight for the numbers of Driver's - city & linehaul, to try & move it !! but maybe that's the big pic. plan work you to Death & then they don't have to worry about paying you any pension ??? here's a CLUE bump UP our starting PAY above the non-union and MAYBE somebody would apply ???
 
They can only keep us 11 hours in Atlanta.Other than getting stuck out in the city sometimes, most of the guys working 12 +/ day are doing it voluntarily.
 
File an article 55 if they try to force you over 11! If they try to force you over 8 without advance notice file an article 55! If you see a supervisor working file an article 55!

From what I hear, you guys are about the only company that is allowing for that much overtime. It isn't going to change until they develop a better bait pile for new applicants. Everyone else has a better package to offer.

a dream or a nightmare? how many grievances those guys win over at overtime denied?

None. Because we don't have to file grievances. Because they don't **** us every place they can. How many of us OD drivers **** and moan like y'all? Not many, because most of us actually like our jobs. Why is it that you guys bitch about the company AND the union? Does anything please you guys? Seems like most of you guys who bash OD seem to think the world owes you something. Just my opinion.

I like my job because I DON'T sit for 4 hours free before I get the big 7.50 breakdown pay. I get layover at my regular hourly rate, not 7.50. I don't pay 96.50 a week for insurance for my family.

seems like most of you guys from OD think you have the world by the balls since you got out of Swift.... no ot, minimum wage for layover and breakdown, and expensive benefits and no pension. sweet....but hey, they treat you great! that's what really means something, being treated well while your being paid substandard overtime, layover, breakdown, and benefits.

Gotta disagree. I can go over my bosses head, up to the president of the company. They give us a list of all the direct lines. Issues are dealt with anonymously. You're welcome to your opinion and I know I'm not going to change your mind. Don't believe everything you hear from your ba or fine upstanding totally straight arrow zero corruption union leaders. They don't chain us to the trucks, don't beat us with sticks when we're bad, and we don't walk around shaking in fear of the big bad bossman who lounges upon his throne like Caesar just waiting to smite us.

12-14 hour shifts were here long before The Yellow Pig took over. You dont like working in the cold, dont like overtime, dont like working in the heat. Why dont you pack up your tampons and get a different career.

I dont take crap from my boss man i personally ran ole Scotty out the break room dang lying no good pos and he cant deny it i put the fear of,the good man up stairs in his eyes i dont take s h ii t from nobody but i do do my job but i do remember when OD was the cheapest paid in,the industry and it want all that long ago early 2000,s you guys been along way and its always nice to have a family run company still alive and kicking problem is with southeastern they have become to corporate they have forgot where they came from as OD has not and i truly wish holland was back,to,the good,ole days of Usf Holland back when they cared
