You should put your money where your mouth is and short it - you could just about double your money - by Christmas!

Betting in the stock market especially on trucking companies is way above my pay grade. Almost every analyst out there recommended YRC stock. It was on the way up when

and I lost a ton a cash I mean a few dollars

Well imovaherenow I'm CONFUSED ALSO who do you work for ? You have not filled out your "about me" section yet ! Also looking back at all your post you DO NOT WORK AT YRC so why do you come on our boards and put your two cents in ?

I work for conway and I wish all us drivers were kicking ***!! When one company undercuts another company just so the can say they have the business, hauling crap for freight and for almost free, in the end we are just killing ourselves and the customers just laugh and say "Sure, you can have our business, for 85% discount, no inside delievry charge, no sort and seg. charge., before noon, no problem, can we open up the boxes for you, put them away, sweep up, what else can we do for you Mr and Mrs. customer for no charge? Makes me sick!!!! We have our selves to blame! Good luck fellow drivers, were all the same, just wear different shirts.

Good post and damned true. Other than I don't agree with "We have our selves to blame." I am only doing what the nimrods running this outfit tell me to do. Lose money was not in my job description. They are professionals and have set many records screwing a good thing up.
