Some guys just don't get it. Reddaway was put down in the southern portion of the US in an attempt to bail out the unprofitable, mismanaged Bestway company, run by TJ O'Connor. Unfortunately, that plan backfired and now look at the mess YRC has us in. Reddaway is barely turning a profit, our equipment looks and runs like junk which is very reminiscent of the way TJ O'Connor serviced Bestway's equipment. Huh, that's kinda funny...TJ O'Connor is now running Reddaway! Could there be any connection? I think there is...he is just another YRC "yes man" that does not know how to run a transportation company.
Back in the good days, RETL Corporate sent out memos when our OR would reach 90, stating we had get back into the 80's. Back then, the employees rallied behind Reddaway and more often than not got the OR back in the
80s. These days, there is no rallying, low morale and just general disgust with YRC because ultimately we are in a hole that we cannot get out of. Nor does YRC management have the insight on how to get us out.
Sorry to get off tangent here (about the Gary H. topic) but when Reddaway is blamed for what happened to Bestway, it strikes a nerve. I know how great it was to work at the "real" Reddaway, even when TNT purchased us then USF. It was all good. Until the Yellow dog came into the picture.
