For what its worth....I had a GREAT time at YRC. The pay wasn't bad, decent benefits, I had a great route....but I was fired for doing something REALLY stupid.When I lost my job I thought it was the end of the world. I applied at a competitor and was hired.

The competitor offered the same benefits with newer equipment and a slight bump up in pay. Still a Teamster and I wouldn't have it any other way.

After reading about recent developments at YRC....... I have a feeling they're about to close up shop..... THINK CONSOLIDATED FREIGHTWAYS.

Hope not....but driver beware!

Have a safe and healthy holiday to all my brothers and sisters of the road.

Like what exactly would he know?? Would he know or maybe already knows that you're going to vote yes for anything in 2019 because you can't go anywhere else?
If he got out of there good for him.

If you don't mind me asking what did you do to get fired plus did you file a grievance to get your job back what happened? I've seen guys come back from accidents, failed drug tests, alcohol, fights, damaged freight and numerous more.

I cant go into detail about my stupid act....but i had a choice of quit or get fired..... i had the shop steward with me and he couldn't do anything....i know i said i got fired but i quit before they could fire me....by quitting they couldn't bad mouth me to my new employer....couldn't take the chance of getting fired....sorry about being misleading

Fired from yrc.
Had to do with assaul or continued intimidating activity. Against others or managment or employees. Stealing. Both of them are big BIG no no's
It the only things I've seen people let go for and not.....NOT get their jobs back over the last ten years.

Short of those. Murder can be counted as an option to be fired.

it wasnt any of those things.....it was so trite....but they were going to fire me if i didnt quit...no drugs, no violence, no stealing
 
Why do you guys think it so hard to get fired from yrc . ??? Yep I got fired . For what . Not signing the policy and procedures . My business agent said ( They had just cause to terminate me ) so no nothing for 10 years of perfect service . YES perfect .
What did I really do wrong. I filed a harassment against my steward 2 times after going to my business agent several times about it due too it had been going on for over a year . Dispatch saw it happen on a daily base but was told to Police yourselves.
So after the 2nd file . Dispatch started harassing me . EI waiting 4 hrs for a load that was on the ready line when I started .
31 times in 3 months ) working extra shifts etc .
So yrc will do anything to protect the Stewart due to my whole board knew about my firing from my Stewart 10 hrs before I got my letter but didnt take cause I told them I already knew what it said . And to prove to my BA that the whole board knew

So if yrc wants you gone . Your done !!

What terminal were you out of?
 
I know of 2 people who were convicted for felonies outside of work. They both did time in prison. They still had a job waiting for them without loosing their seniority. This wouldn't happen everywhere but the business agent at that time knew how to take care of his people. Personally, I didn't care for seeing it because of the nature of their crimes but I couldn't get over the fact that you could commit a felony, go to prison and still keep your spot on the seniority list.

I can't imagine what you lost your job over.
Sounds like you should have let them fire you. Probably would have won the job back.

By the way, they can get in trouble trying to paint a negative picture of you whether you quit or get fired. They simply confirm your time of employment and that's it.

I have seen at least 3 people go off “to college “ in my career and still retain their seniority. People filed grievances and lost. Might not be right, but it has happened.

If someone went to prison he didn't cover his bid. That's no call, no show- voluntary quit.

You never heard of voluntary layoff? It takes a TM who's willing to work with a BA. Like I said, that won't happen just anywhere. This is going back way before YRC came into existence.
