The current plan certainly seems to place as much emphasis as possible on the companies pulling their weight in their respective regions. The biggest problem with YRCF is that 75% of theirs overlaps with NPME, Holland and Reddaway. Suggesting that this duplicate service overlap isn't hurting would be wrong.
YRCF's only dedicated service area is the region formerly serviced by USF Dugan. And it's a notoriously dead service area.
In my opinion, YRCF needs to be divided up between the regionals. It would be a good opportunity for the Teamsters in the West to gain a stronger hold within Reddaway, as nominally the Dugan zone would go partly to Holland and partly to Reddaway. This would increase the number of union terminals at Reddaway.
Some people would get laid off if this ever happened, it's true. But considering all four companies need drivers right now I think eliminating one would help solve the problems of the other three, resulting in limited attrition and few layoffs. Excess capacity of terminals can be purged from the system, reducing upkeep and maintenance costs. And it would help purge out the oldest equipment in all fleets, too.
Bearing in mind that I know not everyone agrees with me here, I want to stipulate that this idea focuses on the larger concept of the company's long term survival. The continued employment of all YRCW employees at current numbers is a different argument entirely.
