Yellow | Yrc Announces New Next Day Texas

If they are running empty to EOL terminals from Dallas,Houston, and other large centers? Why not? Even a few shipments on a trailer going to that terminals area will generate some revenue.
 
We know that makes sense, but the way YRC does numbers, it doesn’t fly. Load factor is key!!
I agree EL. But my thinking is, especially a startup operation, maybe 400-500$ of revenue for a few shipments, beats running say 200 miles with empties? Your the banker though, so whatever you think, I will go with it.

‘Relocating equipment’ falls into a different category than moving freight, from an accounting perspective at YRC. Of course it makes sense to move freight as it becomes available, but because of work rules, the economic impact is prohibitive.

Example: loads arrive at our EOL, there are no return loads available. Rather than haul an empty set to BB, LH drags a gear to the rail to hook a set because of the delay created returning to BB and then proceeding to the rail from BB (5 miles away), because of delay created by LH being prohibited from hooking a gear @ BB before proceeding to rail.

#2. Midday, p&d returns to EOL to drop a bulk shipment, to allow for space to service regular p&d pickups.

Rather than advancing the freight to BB as return loads when midday loads arrive, deadhead and empty sets are the norm.

Load factor supercedes timely advancing freight.

The failure is in accounting measures.

smh

Here's the only "accounting measures" YRCW worries about Elwood...

What about all those empties coming back from the Caymans???
There are no longer empties coming out of the Caymans. Elwood came up with a process to ship sea water back in large balloons, that go to a purification plant in Cedar Rapids, which collects the sea salt, which is then used at the Ridge for popcorn, saving the Sox big bucks.
