We were making close to $1 million a day in profits, and getting raises each year, moving freight at a premium price, had far fewer claims, and we did it with fewer employees than we have now. Now we have more freight than ever, more employees than ever, and without the employee takeaways (5%, Vac, 401K, etc) we are losing money.

The employee givebacks as stated on the investor conference call are between $10 to $15 million a month, and the video said we made $22 million in the quarter. What happened to the other at least $8 million we employees gave this quarter?

Does anyone here really believe we will ever see a 91 OR quarter again? I don't. You cannot blame all this on the economy either, we did not have to grow at all costs and give our hard earned pricing premium away trying to get YRC to fold and in the process pay the invoices on those 800+ rented trailers out there.

I do not understand the game plan for going forward because it does not seem like we have one. The values are gone, no sense of teamwork, this is just a job. Nothing more.

It did not used to be this way.

I agree with you, not to mention all the money we're supposed to be saving on fuel since turning the trucks down. If we're saving so much money wouldn't you think every other company would be following our lead? We are not moving forward we did a total 360 & are going backwards! I sure miss the day's of when the driver was put first & the day's of when this company did have integrity & committment to it's employees!

I dont know about making a million a day....but i agree with you on the pricing....if we are a premium service then the customer should pay a premium price....If I want a good meal I go to a good restuarant....and I dont expext to get a porterhouse steak at wendys..everyone keeps counting yrc out but when the count gets to 9 they seem to get up for another beating....conway is sure taking alot from us and wasting income to see yrc go down....do they really believe that we are the only carrier yrc customers will go to....will volumes go up....of course....but most guys here are making the same money in 2009 that they were making in 1989.....and my point is the money hasnt changed but the work has increased....what have we gained....i know they think we are stupid but maybe its time for them to think who is really being stupid here

Time and time again Yellow has had problems thru the years. Every time people say they are going under. It never happens. They always pull a rabbit out of the hat at the last minute and keep on trucking. For the people up at the Chrystal Palace to plan and bank on YRC closing shows just how inexperienced they really are. Flat out , we have people running this place that has no clue. They are in their own little world . They are all Off To See The Wizard!!!

Our old LEADER Jerry took care of the driver.He knew who made the $$$$$$$ for the company.Then fat beard took over and the rest is history.

Things started to turn to after they spun CF off because they no longer had tit to suck off of to make the balance sheet look good.
