I don't know how well this change is working elsewhere, but this week the service on the freight I delivered was the best I've seen since the merger. Zero late bills, and most were a day early.

My terminal also......205/BUF we're smokin' busy. Everyones working, can't get enough people to work, overtime up the wazoo. (don't let them kid you........this company is making a killing thanks to their reduced labor costs)
 
I even delivered a shipment from Minneapolis next day, service standard is two day. Now let be consistent, and that's the way to win back customers
 
We are kicking arse here in Texas..the flood gates of freight has opened.I feel like tom hanks in the movie castaway..when that container ship picked him up.
 
But...I don't agree with our billing being done in the Phillipines.they make too many mistakes,inconsistent and too many errors and slow

I'm sure you've heard the saying, "a bad day of fishin, beats a great day at work." That's how I feel when it comes to my job at YRCF, a bad day at a union shop, beats a great day at a non-union shop.

I don't know. My shop is non union, I work 5 days a week and have for 14 years. It's rare that my route is cancelled. I have good medical, vision, and dental, which is free after 10 years, along with fidelity 401k. I'm paid for drop and hooks and a mileage rate which is just north of 50 cents and expect to get the rest of our giveback sometime this year. My company matches my 401k contribution and if I leave that money goes with me.

I know that this forum is not to debate union vs non union but sometimes the grass really is greener on the other side of the fence.

I didn't mean any dis-respect. It's just something a non wouldn't understand. I've been a Union Truck Driver for 20 years, and I have to be honest, if the so called big shots were to force the Union out of freight, then I would change professions. I really would.

Busey??? It's pretty easy to be busey when you discount the freight to the point you pay to haul it!!! This sounds like A great buisness model to follow!! I'm sure their going to want me to pay an additional 5% so we can continue to pay the fat cats at the top and haul freight for free!! I've never heard so many uneducated people speak at the same place in my life!! Pass the koolaide please!

Don't do that! They don't like to hear the truth on this board. YRC "freight" is busy because customers want to use them, and will pay a premium to ship. They didn't get so big because of discounts. Thats what they like to hear on this board.

At 85% discounts, there should be a lot of freight!

Heard the samething in my last YRC meeting with a sales rep,, he was talking discounts of 81-85% discounts,, and think before the merge Roadway thought 72 was a huge discount,, granted that was 10 years ago, but its still something to look at..
 
Haters

Keep the positive comments coming!!! It will help to chase all the rats off this forum. And, former employees that don't want this company to survive. Just so they can say, see I told you so! I have a message for all you haters! It's a double middle finger salute. Bad Karma is coming your way! :hyper:

Unfortunately, close to 50% of all shippers use 3 PLS. There is no way around it.
