As some have suggested that the company is in "survival mode" I hardly think that giving these new management people a NEW Escalade represents survival. What's wrong with the Chevy Impala that most have driven in the past? Also where is that part of the $6 billion in revenue that they were supposed to bring from YRC to R & L? For the first half of the year they claim to have increased revenue by 10%. Considering R & L last year's revenue was just shy of 1 billion a 10% increase is nothing. Furthermore the OR has been in the low 80's in the past. Now it's running in the high 90's. Additional revenue with less profit? Guess they just need to buy bigger trucks. Just my 2 cents but I would not call this a smart move on Mr Robert's part.
