FedEx Freight Playing Dirty

[pantera]

Not playing dirty its all about the game thats what ltl all about been like that for yrs

It makes sense to go after a company (YRC) that is on the brink of collapse. YRC is cutting rates to try to survive. It is only natural that FedEx cuts even lower. Not. This makes no sense at all. It does give you an idea of the freight situation, though. Companies have been doing this to each other for years. The thing that is important here is how a company goes about cutting prices and securing freight that another company was handling. FedEx has tried to use deceptive tactics and customers do not appreciate that. YRC's customers have been told that if YRC goes out of business those companies (FedEx and others) will only raise the prices in the long run. There is already proof of this since we know FedEx is raising their prices in January. If anyone here is in P&D this is a very good selling point for YRC and against FedEx. I hope I have made someone feel better here today. Relax. The party is just getting started. The competition is nervous. Very nervous.

In any other time YRC would have declared bankruptcy by now. It is my understanding that the only reason YRC is in business is because the banks can't afford it. I think that other LTL companies are tired of pushing and are trying to shove so that they can get back to normal operations. Here is an article that might back this up, Analysts: YRC Worldwide sector is 18 percent over capacity - Kansas City Business Journal: .

fedex and conway drivers had better wake up.the only reason these two unethical company,s want yrc out of buisness is so they can cut wages big time. the non union driver,s have had a free ride far too long. they need to step up to the plate and join the union before they are either working for peanut,s , or have no job at all.

Deuce: there hasn't been an announcement on FedEx LTL rates. FedEx Express and FedEx Ground previously announced a 5.9% increase.
