I was waitin for it, Pilot.. I knew you wouldn't let me down!:LMAO:..If you hate YRC as much as you say...Go get one of those "better" jobs out there!

You posted just a few before there is LESS regulation now than before (I disagree); now in this post you say before there was none, now there is some. Which is it?????
I was waitin for it, Pilot.. I knew you wouldn't let me down!:LMAO:
There is less regulation now than in the past 20 or so years...that is the context that I base my statement on. In the post your referencing, I stated that there was "hardly any" regulations before the meltdown...(which would be consistent with the concept of less)...That doesn't mean "none" and once again that is in the context of decreasing regulation over time.... Regulations that were in place to prevent another "great Depression" have been gradually removed over a period of time..
Since the meltdown....there has been "some" new regulations put in place to try and prevent another such meltdown...again.."some" meaning...They still are not being regulated to the extent necessary to prevent another meltdown in the future..
I hope this clarifies things better....Thanks for taking the time to read my posts and I appreciate your input!

You talk like the vote is yet to come.
Newsflash: It's over.....
we know its over . can see it every day on the dock in the yard and by how managment has gone back to handing out those tick tac letters . oh ya and the abuse of the gray language in this latest bunch of bs that was voted yes for
Thanks jimmy g It does seem like there are quite a few on here that haven't gotten the "news" yet....
yea i think it might be differant .i have to live by the rules that i didnt vote for . he wants to live the life and not follow the biggest rule of all . no crossing picket lines!!!!
i have to live by the rules that i didnt vote for
who could blame anyone for not wanting a pay cut or a temporary pension cessation but to deprive a company of having efficient work rules is like sooooo old school likeooooold man Hooooofa.
The industry has nothing going for itself. Pricing still sucks cuz of the still too much capacity prob..there is no business out there cuz there is no business. A lot of it went down. Small businesses is the heart of the ltl market..no new entrepreneurs out there to take their place. Not worth the risk. The only way to survive in this high cost business is to cut cost by right sizing, efficient work rules and productive employees and get rid of the dogs and half breeds in the system
So, the meltdown was caused by Andrew Cuomo's Forcing (threatening accusations of 'Red-Lining'- discrimination if minorities weren't lent to) Banks to loan more to people who couldn't pay back the loans. Bush (I didn't like him-- I saw him governing as a Democrat-- not the Conservative he claimed to be) actually DID call for investigating/reforming Fannie/Freddie-- Barney Frank and Chris Dodd blocked that, claiming it was unnecessary. Meanwhile, Pelosi (mostly) and Congress blocked drilling ANWR, which would have brought down the price of Oil, and opened up Good Paying Jobs for Americans.... With gas prices rising during the slowdown-- poorer people had to choose between paying their mortgage, or buying gas to go to work....
Question: What reform/new protections happened lately to prevent such a Depression? Banks are now more restricted, but Fannie/Freddie were left untouched, except $1 Trillion further in Debt..... ANWR is still undrilled; The Gulf was banned from Deep Sea Drilling for most of the summer. Prices are rising-- Unemployment hovers at 9.6% (U6 close to 17%)....Government has placed more requirements on Businesses, Higher Costs, Higher Taxes coming, and Crap and Tax will be installed thru the EPA. Add in QE2 (-- Buying-- Our Debt) which you say isnt happening....And yes-- this is definitely a Government CAUSED Depression coming.....
