As of 03/14/08, SI is back to the same size board as 10 years ago when I hired on, got 3 tonight and I was lucky number 3. Can't win the lottery though.: :chairshot:
 
They are putting out the white flag when it comes to service , there is freight out there they don't want to service it thats obvious with the layoffs , giving them the what they wanted in the national contract because of fear tactics does not seem to work for for those that voted yes now does it! be vigilant dont let them get away with hiring casuals until all are called back.

Maybe they want to lose the freight.Then try to get it back as new freight,so it will be ut freight and they won't need all the man power to move it.It will get moved by the ut driver or the preferred carrier.It's just a thought.

I don't know about the preferred carrier thing but utility drivers can handle any freight that they want to designate as utilty freight.
Doesnt have to be new freight.
 
I heard that the new tractors coming in are leased. Dont know if it means anything or not.
That would rule out one of my theories. That YRC would turn the new tractors in as a loss.. When and if they were to shut us down.
 
If I remember correctly when I was at yellow they leased the tractors from Yellow leasing. Just another tax loop hole for large corporations.
