I:TR10driving03:If you listened to the Dollar Bill presentation at the Stephens Conference today he said that the integration of Yellow and Roadway was "straight forward, seamless, and transparent"! Maybe to Dollar Bill and his top managers it is, but to the rank and file, it's mostly smoke and mirrors! Getting concrete info about the merger is like pulling teeth! Another comment made by Dollar Bill during the webcast this morning was when he was talking about the merging of the Wichita, KS Roadway and Yellow barns. He claimed that each barn had about 20 drivers, or 40 total. He said after the merger, they would dovetail the seniority lists, draw a line down to about 25, and lay off 15 drivers! He called this action "a pop to the service product"!
Maybe 15 drivers is a "pop" to him, but it is a major blow to the 15 families it drastically affects...especially right before the holidays! Evidently Wall Street didn't care much about his presentation today as the stock dropped to another 52 week low of $1.80 a share! Maybe Dollar Bill should start communicating more with the rank and file, and listen to some of the suggestions he's getting from them?!
Then again, maybe Dollar Bill should just grab his "golden parachute" now, and "get out of Dodge"...oops I mean Overland Park! PRAY THAT WE SURVIVE!
