They want to eliminate as much of the lay down runs as possible. Eliminate as much as the can on line haul miles driven. Put line haul driver to work instead of waiting in break room. Cut down on fuel costs by having one p/d driver instead of 2 or 3 in an area. Can it work, absolutely. Can Yellow make it work, that is questionable.
Let’s face it we have to adapt to the times or become extinct, not as drivers, but as workers in a collective bargaining agreement. No one likes change. Most of us hated to use computers, now we carry one in our pockets.
