Now their wanting you to call off instead of having personal days so they can get rid of u when your in attendance trouble...I'd rather have took a 1-3 cent/mile pay cut!!!!

Overall,DCPS,I thought it was rather minimal..We took less than most other freight lines did,don't you think..Of course I am at an end of the line terminal,we prolly won't take as big a hit as some of the larger ones..Not disagreeing with you,just trying to see it in a different light,if that's possible..

i havent had meeting yet so havent heard this yet but if its true.


as far as 401k goes, conway still gets 3 percent match just like estes. they lost bonus 401k money. guys could get up to 9 percent based on years of service.

and they say they will get the bonus 401k back at first of the year. so we did lose more.

they have 5 personal days we have none now.

and if they are taking all this away cause they refuse to cut rates to keep freight.

so why is there a takeback if they are laying off people to keep from losing money.

with the layoffs and no cut in rates we should not need to take cuts ourselves.

did they say with these cuts we dont need to lay anyone else off. what happened to trying to hold onto drivers till yrc goes down.

The latest word on the street is,YRC is not going under..So we have to be prepared for that..And the giveback to Conway,according to a freind that works there,is that they will get that back when available..No date has been set..So as it stands now, we took less..

Well my 401k match, plus holiday and personal days probably adds up somewhere around $4000 a year pay cut. Now take that 3% 401k match and add all the compounded interest over the next 30+ yrs I have to retire and man I took it in the Thanks Rob,
