You folks who think YRC is so great never worked for a little outfit called
Consolidated Freightways. I'll take driving old junk equipment over working for this
mismanaged, treat the employee like dirt company anyday. I'm sure my CF brothers
would join me going back. There would be a line at the door waiting to get in.
If you did'nt work there, you don't know what I'm talking about
You're right. I had a lot of friends who worked at CF. They were very proud of their company. But I used to be proud of Yellow, and I knew lots of Roadway employees who felt the same way. Hell, I can relate to the Roadway people. I would have felt the same way if Roadway had bought Yellow. But I would have gotten over it just like most people have now. I loved working in this industry before deregulation, but I can't sit around and dwell on it now. What good does that do? I loved growing up in the fifties when cars were cool, music was cool and we had the last descent president, Ike. We had won the BIG ONE, the country was growing, there were many union jobs, things were simple and fun. Things went to :: in the sixties and have stayed there. But it does me no good to commiserate about it. All we can do is try and get some of those ideas back. We are doing a **** poor job of it right now, but I'm not giving up. People know the difference between right and wrong. We just have to do it, each and everyone of us. How does the song go? If you don't like how things are, go look in a mirror. There is the person who can change your life.
