YRC's not going anywhere for at least a year unless their customers all go away. They haven't even gone chpt.11 yet never mind chpt.13.
It's not a matter of weather or not we have enough freight for a Sat. FAC. It boils down to how little respect XGO has for its drivers. This has been a scheduled long weekend for many a driver making plans with their family all year long. To just come out on Mon 12/28 and say cancel your weekend plans is insane, no matter how much or little seniority you have with conway. They take and we give..and we give and they take...if YRC goes down like they are hoping...God help us all.
I cannot believe there isn't more outrage over this.
Not one guy I talked to last night was the least bit happy about this.
As we're told, Saturday will be just like it was Thursday night. There's none of this, "volunteer from the top and force from the bottom" business. our #1-#30+ guys are told, "Saturday is a linehaul day. Be at your FAC by noon."
These are not just some little day time drop-n-hooks, this is running the FAC. Everyone, dock starts, hostlers, FOSs.... everyone. Just like a regular night. So prepare for a nice 12-14 hour day. Awesome huh?
I think it's a load of crap, and that CGO could not possibly care less about anyone who works outside that building.
IF YRC closes (and that's a BIG 'if') do you think working that day will get us ahead? No, but working that day will certainly destroy more goodwill toward Con-Way and take morale lower than ever.
I agree with a previous poster, that CGO TRIES to think of ways to alienate and irritate DSRs; simply because they can.
Plus, just think of the holiday pay they won't have to pay guys who don't come in Saturday. This is a win-win for CGO.
For being so anti-Un**n, it certainly seems like they want to see how far they can push before there's serious talk of it.
I'd have bet $100 that the switchboard at CGO was lit up like a Christmas tree today with complaints, but apparently I'm mistaken. I can't believe guys get upset about assigned trucks, or "he left before I did...waaahhh!!"--- yet complacently accept having your 3 day weekend turned into a $hit sandwich.
Me, I'd rather work Thursday or Friday night, instead of having my whole Saturday kicked in the face.
But hey, maybe I don't see the 'big picture.'
Someone in a coma could boost morale better than people at CGO are handling things.
I have one question, Why?? Why would they make us come in on a off day to run linehall?
people at cgo need to pull there heads out of there, well you know, what freight will we have sat. morning, what little bit of freight thats picked up thu., give me a break, this all has to do with YRC, there not going away any time soon like cgo thinks.wheres the cards, i'll sign!!!!!
Wow. Are we actually complaining because we have enough freight to need weekend runs? I don't see how this is any different from running Saturday on any other weekend.

See that's the problem, I would rather work on Saturday then New Year's eve or New Year's day. There are a lot of people out there that feel the same way. See, no matter what you do, you can't make everyone happy. I just don't want to be on the roads with the crazies, it is just not as safe as running on Saturday.
Its only gonna effect the ones who are forced from the bottom to run. If your one of the unfortunate ones on the bottom that are forced to run, you'll be one of many on the bottom that are whining about not getting any hours or runs in a month or so. Be glad they are forcing 20 dollar bills in your pockets now.

(Because they can!)::I have one question, Why?? Why would they make us come in on a off day to run linehall?
They couldn't possibbly run all that freight on Monday night. Not enough drivers or trailers, with all the freight we now have. Would you rather run on New Year's Eve. Not me.
Be happy you have work... Would you rather run Saturday or be in line for food stamps?? Like some other trucking companies... Remember one thing Con-Way is known for great customer service!! I am on the other hand of it just not a driver's wife... One reason Y_ _ "you fill in the blanks" stock is 1 dollar is because their customer service and people skills are 0%.... FYI- from both sides!
I think you better get your facts straight. The reason they are in the boat they are is because of **** poor managing and the upper management sucking the company dry.
