I'm right there with you R-14!
I can tell you too, that most of the guys at 875 are positive thinkers like us. In fact, some of them are so confident, that it even scares me, and I don't scare easily! Although I've been laid off for the last year, I stop by the terminal every few months to talk to a few people. It's amazing how most of the guys who have never been laid off in their career are completely complacent as to the hurdles we face and what the company is doing to survive. It's totally like another world!
A lot of the doomers in this forum are just freaking out because they have never been laid off before this year. It's a big deal when you have a family and real bills to pay. I imagine it can really play with your mind.
I'm currently on my fourth lay off with Roadway. The shortest one was four months, and this one is a year with only about 25 call-ins. Since moving to Portland to take this job, I've been keeping things simple by living in my mom's basem . . . uh . . . I mean . . . living in a cheap apartment and not buying much stuff in case this job doesn't pan out. Some people are tied down big time, and they will be heading to their own personal bankruptcy
if YRCW goes bankrupt.
Keep the faith brother!
