I don't think ABF could afford to buy New Penn or Holland. Yellow is in debt and would pass off as much of that debt as they can to Holland or New Penn.
I don't think we could afford OD? Estes is claims central. R&L needs a union. I am currently on layoff with ABF and had an interview at R&L last week. They start at $15/hr and top out at $17.91/hr in five years. I asked the TM why their drivers in Buffalo, NY top out at 21 something/hr. He told me their pay scale is different all over the country. After almost laughing myself off the chair we got in to the hours I would work. 10am-10pm monday-friday. I thought great 20 hrs overtime a week. So I asked time and a half after 8 a day or 40 a week. He said they pay all straight time. I thanked him for his time and walked out.:smilie_132: Who in there right mind would work for that!!!
I Don't need to work for a company like R&L. I am not about to loose my home. I have no problem feeding my wife. The only loan i have is on my house. I'm in a great position to ride out any layoff. Sorry buddy my pride gets in the way and won't let me work a billion hours a week for straight time pay. I feel bad for people who have to do that in life. Since i was 16 i have been saving and paying cash for everything i could. That allows me to sit home on the couch and soak up the UI checks and laugh.
bottom feeders,no way abf can hold there heads high they know how to manage a company.only wish i was there instead of holland,watching it go downhill because of yrc mismanagement.
Management just has a BIG eraser. ABF has its problems too.
Like when they acquired Carolina. Just don't know why YRC bought USF Freight in the first place. When they say they're not making money.
What exactly do you mean by USF Freight? Holland?
ABFS gets the left over freight and HAZMAT. Price dictates most business decisions, that is what is meant by 'Bottom Feeders'. New Penn already has the regional system set up and is profitable, ABF is still learning. Regional is the Northeast. Fifty-five (55%) of the U.S.A. population resides there.
Didnt abf learn anything from yellow...there a solid company on their own
Holland was purchaced for either 1.5 billion or 1.7 billion. Obviously, our (Holland) value is much lower now.I think new penn is worth around 300 million. No idea about holland.
