Thanks Stimpy. I didn't think about them. I thought maybe it was a local area company.
Why would anyone want to go from NMFA to paper contract?:smilie_132:
What is so great about the NMFA? Every contract can be abused by each side. The pension at USP Freight is better than Central States.

FedEx going after Yellow
It doesn't pertain to us really, but I heard from a FedEx employee that they just had a meeting (presumably systemwide) about how they are going to start a big push to get Yellow's (and Roadway's?) 3 day freight. Can anybody else confirm?

we have already done this at ups freight and we are getting it. we are growing very fast where I live.
I laugh at 3 day freight! Just dont try to mess with Holland on the 1 and 2 day freight. you will be disappointed! Oh wait maybe you wont now that YRC has our hands tied behind our backs! Holland could move freight coast to coast in 3 days, and gaurantee it by noon. whats the big deal with that?deerslayer

Yeah we are hearing some pretty bad things but our freight is not down that much.
I hear we are not covering all of our switches.
We are having trouble covering all our pickups.
This is getting weird

Thier must be some truth to the rumor. CO laid off 7 city drivers today

Can't verify the "mass layoff", but we just lost two more city guys in GY, Michigan,to lay off on Friday. (10/10/08) We had 34 city about a year ago, pretty sure we are down to 22 now. One city guy quit three weeks ago, and another retired two weeks ago. Now two more laid off. :28:

Ok i got a rumor.
I keep hearing that we (Holland, USF?) are for sale.
I have heard this a lot since we started losing money.
But this time it seems a little more persistent and coming from a more wide range of people.
And that is the reason for the "massive " layoffs.
But I don't follow how the massive layoff ties in with the for sale.
Are they doing a last ditch effort to get us making money on paper so that we are more attractive to a buyer?
I just like to try and make sense of rumors even though they are completely unfounded.
Maybe its the amateur anthropologist in me.
Can anybody explain the reasoning behind this rumor.

It was after 10:00 AM when you made this rumor, so I take it that you didn’t hear any other good rumors so you are just making a new one up, just cuz!!! You are allowed.:rockon: Sounds like a good one to me. I feel it is going to a long cold winter for a lot of people in this country this time. And I am not just talking about us drivers; quite a few companies are scaling back their work forces to survive. Enough doom and gloom it’s the weekend pass me a cold one!!!:beerchug::party-smiley-017:

I didn't make it up I have been hearing it all week.
If I was making it up I would at least make some sense.
What does the time have to do with anything?
I only wanted to try and figure out the logic and what better place than the rumor thread?

As you can see BP, you're not the first to ask or state something like this. Maybe some day we'll get told officially that we've been sold and everything is going to be great again? And it happens.
