Yellow | Chicago Heights calls back more!

[spiracer]

Chicago Heights Road Board has called back another 24 drivers, bottom number is 547. I am posting this because a T B member has asked for updates.

Is it because of increase in business,or seasonal vacation time for other drivers?

Since China will be buying YRC soon, they can fork out the money and have over 600 drivers back to work.

[/quote]Increase in business, not to many drivers taking time in July. A Heights tradition is to use a week or two in January or February so a low seniority guy wont get laid off.

Any truth to the rumor that 309 has called back thirty more drivers with 577 being the last man working?
