Wonder what the cost is to put new hire through this process, food,hotel,paid time there, and to sit them home,most will quit before even finally getting on road,not much faith in our futures, not with this train of thought,...but hey glad we have all that extra money laying around,you can't fix stupid
 
Honestly, if the company merges it may just become Holland!

I just pulled a 48ft city van in from a customer. Holland ex-YRCF. You can still see where the YRCF logos were.

Does YRCF not need city vans?

I dunno. This trailer was new enough that it had only ever had YRCF on it. I've seen old trailers from Yellow and Roadway, this wasn't one of them.
 
i have only seen one so far but the brand new 59 series rollup door 53 ft with double loadbar sets is pretty nice, every other loadbar has 2 loadbars back to back..
 
Ok , Round Table Rumor-kinda facts are that with all this "Rightsizing" of office and Management that we are in for some kind of a big change later this year ??? merger or buyout or shut-er-down ? with them having to use cartage to move freight , something has to change ?

Rightsizing,partner is another word for management to not admit they had too many people being paid to do not enough,to justify the amount of freight and people in the system... yrc seemed to for a while in the last few years was going back in the direction of,for example, a VP of operations,with he or she having an assistant in 4 different parts of the country,reporting to them. Now when freight levels tighten up a bit,they suddenly discover,oh,the VP guy can do this job and some more duties,and get rid of 3 other people...

Jim, could you, I guess talk about maybe the consolidation of the Holland facilities into New Penn and YRC, I read about somewhere last week and also streamlining some of the middle management structure in terms of – I guess, continued to match freight volumes with labor and everything?

James Welch

Sure, I would be happy to. Number one, we have not consolidated anything from a physical network structure and to anyone of the other companies, all four companies today remain independent. What we did do however, was take the opportunity to realize the improvements that we have had from process, improvements in technology to right size our business, which we consider kind of a normal course of business. Certainly, the adjustments that we made were certainly carefully analyzed and we used a consistent methodology across all four operating companies that really centered on span of control, number of direct reports and things like that. So we certainly took all into consideration. We only made any sort of decision once we knew that we are certainly clear from a cost and service benefit to help our business out. But there is really no network integration at all. There could be some facilities where we have the capacity to share and we will be looking at some things like that, but really just a normal way rightsizing of the business, which we were happy to be able to do from the improvements that we made with our technology and processes.

David Ross

Okay. So that’s not as if you are shutting down some facilities in Holland, you put that freight in New Penn and YRC Freight?

James Welch

Not at all. Nothing can be further from the truth, no, nothing at all. I want to be real clear. Nothing is being done to change the physical structure of the networks Holland, New Penn, Reddaway, YRC Freight, all operating independently, so we haven’t wrote that article, didn’t quite have that right.
