I honestly don't think it's the yardmen draining money from YRCW. How many yardmen actually work at any given terminal per shift???
I like getting to a terminal at the end of a shift, and being able to get out and go to the Hotel. I like coming out of the hotel and walking to a fueled up, ready to go truck.
I keep my truck clean as well, part of being a professional, as well as respect for the next guy. My fuel tanks don't need to be shined, I'm not working at a shiny wheel, chicken hauler company. My truck works almost 24 hours a day between my linehaul and the city guys. Some other LTL's don't use linehaul tractors for city work.
Throwing fellow Teamsters under the bus, isn't going to help. Better decisions from management at Overland Park will.
