James Welch said that even with the reduced wages and pension YRC's compensation package is still better than the competition. We'll if you don't do your research and look for information then you mite just believe that. If you have been at YRC for 20 plus years and have not had to look for a job in over 20 years then you don't really know what's out there and you mite believe that statement also. I go strictly on facts and numbers that I can put on paper and add them up. And the facts are with the 15% wage reduction that's puts the sleeper team mileage pay splitting 0.544 cents a mile or .27 cents for each driver and 21.04 an hour for delay time and no retirement. A lot of guys still say that we have free insurance. We'll regardless of how you label it my 15% give back in 2013 was just over $15,000. So I payed $300 per week for my health and welfare in my opinion. FACT.......EVERY JOB OFFER AND I REPEAT!!! EVERY JOB OFFER I RECEIVED SINCE I STARTED LOOKING to leave YRC has offered at least 0.56 cents per mile to run teams. The lowest matching 401k I was offered was a 6% match. The medium or average premium for medical, dental, and vision was about $150.00 per week for the best plan with the low deductible. And all of them offered assigned equipment. Now I know jobs will vary depending on what part of the region you are in. But the point of my post is educate yourself and do your own research and get the facts instead of just believing everything you are told. Once again if I have said anything that has offended anyone in any way I apologize in advance. God Bless.
