Pretty sad if they need to ask that question!!!!I was asked if our 15% was given back would it change the attitudes and work ethic of the men and women? This question was from upper management.

We get drivers here but they arent worth a damn. Either they bring freight back because they cant get into the dock or they dont want to put the effort into the delivery. They want 9-5 hours, a new truck, and volume runs. The rest go on comp so they dont have to work the dock in the cold. The company lowered the bar to the bottom of the barrel. They get what they deserve.maybe with 15% back they could find drivers, Holland hasn't taken their ad down for city or road in Buffalo, its been up for over a year...
You arent where I am. We have several new hires (within the last 2 years) out on comp, one was on his 35 or so day when he tweaked his ankle and has been on light duty for over 2 months. One "driver" was here for 3 months quit once, fired once, and has now been on comp for almost a year. We have a couple drivers on their 3 or even 4th accident in less than a year.thanks guy, i'm new, lol.......I do have to say, I try and put in the effort to learn the right way of every barn I go to, I don't notch anyone, and my truck has a radio, gloves, pens, a pin puller, and rags for the mirrors for the city guys.... I don't think they are having good luck keeping most new road drivers....

Don't you think for a minute that 15% giveback would come free.were they asking if it would just be Holland, or all the YRC companies? sort of a stupid question, when has more money ever negatively impacted the attitude of employee's?
Don't take offense to the post, tslking mostly about city hires.thanks guy, i'm new, lol.......I do have to say, I try and put in the effort to learn the right way of every barn I go to, I don't notch anyone, and my truck has a radio, gloves, pens, a pin puller, and rags for the mirrors for the city guys....

With 38 years in the biz and 25 at Holland there's very little they can get by me. I truly believe he is searching for ways to create a better work environment. He also has submitted a reward program that would pay for all employees of their origin terminal for reaching their safety goals. Don't think it would be possible but just imagine 0 accidents or workers comp claims for 1 year. ($286,000) at our 80 door terminal (150 employees) last year. Say they paid each employee a $1000.00 bonus if these goals were reached do you not think there wouldn't be a little added pressure to work through some of the iffy accidents. So the company saves about 50% on dollars plus the productivity of having the driver on duty. Probably a stretch, but at least he trying.Griz I know this isn't your first rodeo. I'm sure you told them you're no two-buck Chuck and that question was an insult to your intelligence.
MI, right?
