allnightrain44, I couldn't agree more. We went from the top of the game to almost the bottom. YRCW stole the pride along with the money. I came to New Penn to work for a great company and now that is gone.
As for the gestapo safety department it shows anyone can get certified. I have a friend retired from GM who is now vp of safety for a fairly large steel distributor, said some class work, testing and now has new career. Alas only book smart though, still doesn't get some of the practical things that get the jobs done, much like our safety department. (I think I might be giving them to much credit saying that).
It all has become sad, can only wonder whom else might leave now.(besides me)
