They say that around 120 or so road drivers were layed off Friday night in the system. The only place that I have heard was that Evansville had 2 layed off, where are the other 118? Anybody know?
 
Haven't confirmed it yet, I heard it was only 15 road drivers total. 120 seems too high, that would probably be close to 10% of the total road drivers.
 
5 laid off in Joplin, 1 in KC....I heard 2 off in Omaha, 2 in Evansville and 1 or 2 in Sikeston....anyone with the rest???
 
must be work here for layed off guys .
Details of "CASUAL COMBINATION CITY DRIVER / DOCK WORKER (SYRACUSE) - YRC" posted by employer
 
Just wait there will be an ad next for Binghamton soon. Alot of the New York pension drivers are taking their pensions while there is still something in it.
 
Not trying to start anything, but, we are getting into normal layoff season. I agree 120 seems high though.

You are supposedly a retired YRC driver. You don't know how Holland lays off anyone. Holland screws the men on Friday. Few and far between when they send out a letter mid-week. Go back to bed old man!
 
I heard the 100+ number Friday night also from several including one of the Joplin guys laid off but 15 sounds like the correct number now

He's talking about the east coast daily layoff no letters involved, just post the list of layoffs by 3 PM the day before. Wednesday almost every week Tuesday and Thursday when it's slow.
 
I always liked the way that Holland laid off road drivers, called you at the hotel and told you to call linehaul dispatch. Your own terminal wouldn't tell you a sleep terminal would.

Yeah i like that one. You got your home load mini on Friday night. By the way you're laid off when you get home.
 
RECALL !!! Actually 3 of the 5 laid off at Joplin were called in Thurs morn, 11-11-10 to run out that day !! No idea how long their call back will last but welcome back :-)

Happy for those guys but don't you see this is the way of the future. Lay you off. Give you enough work on whatever shift/callin they want, just to keep you hangingon. Seen it for almost 2 years. When I told them I was no longer available for their select call in schedule they asked me if I would like to resign. I reminded them that I have a recall available. So if they are ready to recall with a letter then they can talk to me again.

Good for you..you know Layoffs are a big part of the game> I estimate I was laid off at least 5000 times. For half a decade or longer they laid off the bottom drivers Mon night thru Thur night and called most in the next day at a different start time.
They always did this, always will. But they can forget about laying you off and calling you in for a four hour guarantee. Don't even go there. It will not happen
