Tortious interference with a business relationship.

If anyone sees a letter saying this, give it to your terminal manager to forward to YRC's legal department. They can be sued for millions if they are doing it.

The Tort would be a YRCW company suing a YRCW company.

The Fed Ex flyer is posted at our Yellow Terminal. I've seen the flyer OD gives to their employees telling them OD is gearing up for "changes in the LTL Market" (my son works part-time for OD while attending college). Conway here in Indy is hiring, as they are closing the smaller, out of the way terminals and growing their large one, to compete harder against a weaker YRCW; and we ARE weaker; our stock is hanging by a thread-- ABF's, Conway's, Few Ex's are all growing, even in this slower economy.

I see these as marketing tools I would use if I were a salesman, and just things jealous people on here see as mean. We at Yellow need to work harder at keeping the customers we have, and things might work out. Instead, here anyway, we've missed appointments, missed pick-ups, delayed next day freight service, everyting we CAN do to LOSE customers, and wonder why? The only thing we offer is service, and we mess that up, thinking the customer will still stay with us since we're "Entitled" to them! We need to change OUR attitude, or we're in REAL TROUBLE...

very well said. you sound like this other guy on here telling the same story. oh wait thats me.

Well, stocks for anyone right now are not healthy...we have all been taking a hit the past 7 weeks or so...Our industry is so dependent on a healthy economy, and our economy is extremely sick at the moment...So, some will resort to desperate measures during desperate times...You would think FX would be able to sell on reputation, but apparently they are not real confident in themselves...

Jimmy G is exactly right on the money. We need to service our customers, and that means delivering their freight on time and picking up their freight on the day it is called in. Unfortunately this is not happening because, at least my manager says they are told how many men to put to work everyday by a computer message every morning. Gee, i wish that computer could understand that when you double up p&d runs you either can't make all of your deliveries or don't have enough room for pick ups. When you don't have enough manpower on the street, you cannot service your customers properly. When you don't service your customers properly, you lose them. When you lose your customers, you go out of buisness. Oh what do i know, i am only in the freight buisness 37 years, and anyway computers know everything!!!!!
