Well...Thanks Muler...I try...after all...that's what our groupie "Troll Joe" comes here for and we sure can't disappoint him...lol
Docker how many drivers are you useing? Nice round figures I'm thinking 30,000 YRCW and 7000 ABF.
My figures for ABF mirror yours but the YRCW is off, I'm thinking about 8.4.... Now I drove truck for a reason so don't laugh.....too many 000000000s

I didn't know the number off hand of actually still employed at YRC so I used this article to get their numbers:
Central States Fund Report: $17.7 billion | Teamsters for a Democratic Union
and I used 7000 for ABF.

I'm not laughing because I had to use all my fingers and toes to tally up just ABF's numbers...lol
That article only talks about CS so one has to add the contributions from all the other funds or subtract many ABF members from the equation.

You do make a valid point...so lets use this number for YRC... $21 million in pension contributions per quarter, according to Wolfe Trahan estimates.That would be around 5.25 million a month for YRC.

Thanks for bringing that up!

wolf: I read on the YRCW site somewhere around 28,000 total employee. If I can remember right you know I am getting old.
I guess I can now see why the funds and the IBT have bent over backwards to collect from us what they could.......And at one time we had 80,000 (seen that figure once) in the mix. Many of those will never collect but I and any ABF man will benifit from thos contributions. Add into that YRCW employees will not be able to leave at the same age as ABF guys.....hense passing on before they collect as much as the ABF men..... I'm not feeling like such a moocher right now.
That may well be I used a nice even number to try and ease my confusion.

Docker and wolf: You see people can come here an learn something after all. I am impressed. Do you see what teamwork can do.
I am satisfied with the figures we have thrown back and forth....I'm thinking the difference is I'm including all of the YRCW companies

Wellllll. As long as we agree that article is a year old and the figures may have changed since.
I agree...they sure could of changed...the numbers could of went up or down since then.
