What's new

Yellow | 309 or 301 (Chicagos finest here)

Good lord!
John don't you have a job yet? All you do is sit in front of your pc and add your comments. The funny part is that you don't work for Yrc anymore ! Go get a job, and then a life.

Hey Spag.....(Roadway) was organized just fine (financially). not like (Yellow)almost in (bankruptcy)before (Yellow) Bill Z decided with the rest of the (Yellow) Board of directors or do I mean (Board of Company Destroyers) had to buy(Roadway) to keep (Yellow) from going out of business. So you might say when (Yellow) bought (Roadway)...The Company (Roadway) saved your job for at least the next 6 years..... Now that this happened 7 years ago you might wanna get over the Whole Roadway Yellow thing...we are all in the same boat now....

Here is what really happened. Both Yellow and Roadway tried collaborating. Some companies benefit and some don't. There will be more companies callaborating in the future, not just trucking companies.

The big announcement was that the Chicago Teamster Dockworkers were making ther goals or what ever the sign said as you entered the place.
 
On the dock at 309, one of our stewards, the "TDU" steward, said that 301 IS going to be back in service. Here is what he says will be happening and why: 309 will remain, 301 (CGB) will be back in the freight business. The reason is two-fold. 1. Local 705 won its grievence and will be getting back some of the territory it lost. 2. YRC is not being allowed to renew the lease on the Bollingbrook facility. So, in essense, Bollingbrook will be rolled into 301 and two other smaller terminals will close, with freight going to 301. He was unsure of which two. But the thought is that for 301 and 309 to exist and benefit the company, they need to be close to capacity. That is also one of the reasons why the canadian operation is returning in full to 309 from Buffalo. The estimation is that between Locals 705 and 710, roughly 250 will be called back.

I was told by a Yellow steward that the TM at bollingbrook said that they still had 5 years left on that lease:shrug: So I don't know.

That reminds me of the Company's promise that the merger and all of the Change of Operations would create 10 million Teamster jobs. (Just let them do what they want.....and trust them. So far they have lived up to everything that they promised):duh:

Good, see what happens when they mess with the best Chicago/CGB/301. Can't mess with those die hard south siders or soxsiders. You can put it on the board/TB, Yes!

Let's examine this post. 705 territory is determined by Joint Council 25 not between YRC and 705. Greivence or no greivence 318 will retain it's current territory. Another post later in this thread is correct, 318 has 5 more years left on the current lease. And finally ANY change in the current flow of Reimer freight WILL require a Change Of Operation. It would be wonderful if both terminals were to be in operation but the facts of the situation simply don't support that possibility.

The only reason that 179 is covering the area that CGB did is because 705 doesn't have a terminal open once CGB is open 705 will get that area back . Your right J/C 25 determines the territory and everything east of RT 53 belongs to 705 .

So lets look at his one. YRC is going to take freight away from their most productive terminal, Buffalo to give it to one of their least productive terminals, Chicago? Buffalo is number one in bills per hour, time through break, linehaul efficiency, and yard productivity. As a matter of fact Buffalo almost doubles the nearest D.C. in bills moved per hour! Oh, and lets not forget the B.S. that it takes to get freight cleared at the Ambassador bridge compared with the Peace bridge. Sounds pretty far-fetched and bad business oriented to me.........

Yeah, that's what the Teamsters/city drivers from Local 705 thought when Roadway/YRC stole their work away and gave it to the Roadway/YRC Bolingbrook terminal against Local 705's contract. I've always said, what comes around, goes around. 301 was more productive than Bolingbrook and the Heights put together, and that's a fact. That is another reason why Rich G. is the terminal manager, and thats why 301 will be reopened. Half of the YRC employees that live in Indiana, will just have to go with the flow. Here, for the YRC employess that live in Indiana, click on both hyperlinks below. Both hyperlinks will show everyone how to save some driving time and fuel getting to work at 301.

They would have meeting with the drivers everyday and we were told that Chicago was the most profitable and efficient the system had . I cant speak for Roadway their too busy writing warning letters .
