If they can. Read post #32I am very curious as to who this new interline freight will be turned to. A YRC regional company ?
http://hankstruckpictures.com/pix/trucks/dfaust/2009/01-07/scan0035b.htmlI ran some road trips for CEX as a casual in the later 1980's. Jersey City, NJ to Apalachin, NY meets with Buffalo men. Pulling sets with cab-over Ford single axle day cab CL-9000's.
Don't you trust these guys?Unfortunately there is a lot of mistrust on both sides……communications are NOT what they should be.
When you give work away, you will never get it back period.
They claim no one will be laid off due to this COO. If you take those points on the COO and trap it at certain DC’s (Break-Bulks) and interline it in that town to be taken to that area for delivery….that will lessen the freight that the road driver takes to that area.
More road drivers, less freight constitutes a laid off road driver.
The Local cartage and Dock will be working the freight at the break-bulk, but the road driver there will not take it to the satellites…..the interline carrier will.
Who decides what is and is not profitable? Seems this place has been wasting more and more on bad dispatches everyday, not to even bring the bad equipment in to the scenario.
Bottom line here, AND, this is MY Opinion….The employees do not trust in what the Company says, as well as the IBT….plain and simple.
Note that the majority of you found out about this COO HERE….not from your Locals….Hmmmm? BE CONCERNED, VERY CONCERNED!
Lets see what they do at the meeting on this COO on March 5th….if you do not call and asks the questions and your concerns to your Local and IBT Freight, then it will be your fault again if all this comes back and bites you all on the ass!......KK
I sure don't have that answer. If it does...lets hope it will be a positive effect. Everything in life is a double edged sword. Wait and see.Will this have any effect on the operations at new penn ?
No, CF was spun off debt free and was eventually shut down.

In a steward meeting at the local Saturday lets say this was not the first thing out of the locals mouth.
And as of this morning Monday 26th the rank and file had no idea what had happened. The little birdie that reads these boards had to make a few calls.
DREAM, it is! Honestly, you don't actually believe they care about "customer service?"
Terminated our oldest sales rep last week. Miss on average, 20-25 pick-ups per day.
So what do they talk about in pee-shift EVERY single day? Brainwashing. Safety.Safety.Safety.
Manipulating numbers by using various shift hours to make themselves look great.
A direct violation of the "code of conduct" and borderline dishonesty!
ETHICS POINT, are you listening??? It's not just about W/C, Disability, FMLA fraud!
By the way, which of you employees are now going to monitor the so claimed "unprofitable" routes?
"Financially strengthen?" While awarding multimillion dollar bonuses, for screwing us!
Will affected employees be subject to lay-off, since less work?
What? How can that be? Double breasting was prohibited by the contract.
There is a guy at one of my stops who walks back and forth in the warehouse twirling a baton at break time. Maybe I can get a video and send it to you so you can talk to him ????There have been way too many instances when I have had to educate my (loosely designated) B. A. to the happenings before us. I cannot begin to express my frustrations with this conundrum. I feel as though I am talking to one of those street corner sign twirlers.... the mechanical ones, not the live ones....
Jackie Presser allowed double breasting. Jackie said it would have very little effect on Teamster Companies.
KK, I am a city driver for Holland here in Birmingham Al and one of the problems with these shipments if they go to us from YRC is the city drivers I run across don't want to deliver these stops that are normally schools with hand unloads or residential stops. Yes they suck but I for one have never minded going on a 20 minute drive to unload a pallet of books then twenty minutes back. I am sure even though you are a road driver that there are city guys at your place too that act like this. The ones I run across will laugh when they see where I have to go to deliver YRC interline and I just get back in the truck and laugh that they aren't smart enough to realize they could get paid to do the same thing. The real issue with a lot of this is the fact that no one seems to want to do anything out of the ordinary at the end of line city operation. Your Montgomery terminal has points inside 30 miles they interline with us and they keep the bottom two guys laid off working 4 days a week. I see these guys all the time and they don't even want the work.
Is he lite in the loafers ?There is a guy at one of my stops who walks back and forth in the warehouse twirling a baton at break time. Maybe I can get a video and send it to you so you can talk to him ????
Be careful what you wish for !Are you saying yrc freight will bump docks in that radius but will pass their lift gate garbage and residentials off to Holland?If so,that isn't worth a crap to Holland.When I go off route to deliver a couple of lift gate stops and residentials I'm hard pressed to make ten stops for the day vs.13 to 17 without that junk.I know we have to do it and I am thankful for the work when it is our business but when you share costs with junk freight with another carrier there is no money to be made.I am shocked that we would accept their garbage freight because that is the freight that hurts our bottom line,especially if it is interlined.I wish we could pass our residentials off to someone and I bet the terminal managers do too.

This is only the start of what's to come. I recently went into one of our vendors, a Holland customer that I bumped their docks on a daily basis when I worked for Holland. On the office wall a list of carriers...including YRC Holland. The phone number was YRC's. The girl in the office said that's the new way of calling in pick ups. They can't hire drivers but they can lay them off...crying to the IBT that they can't hire so we can use pts. We fought on the picket lines years ago to stop the use of shinny wheels...now it's okay.? KK will remember the battles of days gone by...the lessons we learned. You don't give up anything. EVER.! You protect the man who went before you, and leave it better for the men who follow you. Those days are now fading away....!Take the time to read THE WHOLE COO.... Look at those break Bulks that the points are going to be interline from...Yeah, you see it to don't you?
Everyone of those just about have a HOLLAND terminal in that DC area.....they will give OUR Freight to another YRCW subsidiary to take it to those points to deliver?
No disrespect to our Holland and New Penn Brothers and Sisters, but this is why we should have voted NO on the 2nd MOU and demand that we vote as separate companies, even though the Locals pushed it....they got to vote on things that would take OUR work away and not have a negative impact on them....if anything, they may get more work out of this YRC COO.
This will cut down the road work....this will cut down the local cartage work at those points....You NEVER give up YOUR work....did y'all not learn anything yet from the PTS Mess???....KK
