why wait for the union to do something about it. Gramps drove a PBR delivery route in east STL. Oh the stories he told about when him and his boys thought they were getting the short end! Not too dangerous, but they fixed the problem!

If its true about the 90/90, it seems like Fed Ex feels it needs to give YRC a little push to put them in bankruptcy.
Act of desperation. The only reason they are able to do this is they have their small package business to hold them up. Without it I am sure they would be in tougher posistion financailly also.

YRC is the company that started these 90% discounts. FedEx and Conway are just matching YRC discounts! YRC started the pricing wars.... FedEx and Conway will just win it......

Even though I work for New penn I have no problem with what these companies are doing. It's business, YRCW is in desperate trouble and the sharks are circling. It's like a boxer who has someone against the ropes ready to go down, does he stop to let him get himself back together. NO he does everything he can to knock him out...Finish your opponent before he finishes you.
Yeah its seems cruel for us who work for YRCW, but if the roles were reversed, YRCW would do everything it could to crush them. Zollar put us in this financial positon. So place the blame where it belongs.
As they said in the Godfather, "Don't take it so personal, it's just business" ...
