Does anybody else ever notice that we read about Yellow and Roadway but there's hardly ever a mention about USF? We are just like the ugly step child that nobody wants to claim or talk about. What do you think that means?
DGFBY first of all I'm glad there is a first amendment! :USA: Second of all let's see what you do when you are UNEMPLOYED!! :shock:
since npme,hollland and reddaway seem to be working well together why dont they close yrc and let us stay in business. we probably provide a better service.
It still amazes me that the company with the worst OR's and finances was able to buy all the companies who were run better than them and had better financials!!!!
As soon as Yellow bought roadway and newpenn I said :: was going to go down hill!!!
i dont know who would buy the junk we have. its probably going to mexico because it isnt worth a dime or a penny. this is the worst equiptment holland has ever had on the roads.:TR10driving03:
WoW, I thought I was on the Holland thread not the New Penn thread.well the dumb sh^%s at yrcw sold 3 of our terminals to our biggest competitor in the NE.in fact,the now president of this competitor, was a long time president at npme, till he had enough of yrcw bulls%^,and left. so now we pay rent on mostly modern terminals that we fully owned before and now adds more expense to our system in the worst economic times most of us will ever see. and of course they were bought at fire sale prices. we have trailers that have been out of service for months just sitting around at alot of our terminals takeing up space, the npme logo has been painted over, and have been told can't sell cause no titles to release them or being used as colateral for yrcw debt. at camp hill,we even have had to rent space from local in industral park to park this junk in , cause we need the space at terminal. we can't spend money for scales on fork-lifts yet they pay for themselfs in 60 days or less. our W&I guy finds $100,000 a month at one terminal alone, in miss weights and wrong classes,but we can't spend money to gaurentee the correct weights in this day of big time discounts when every $ in profit is so important. he even found several hundred thousand $'s in W&I corrections for reddaway and holland, did the paper work and faxed to both companys , and they blow him off like the possable saveing is nothing but chump change. yet both companys cry about high management cost yrcw charges them. the least bit of effort from both of the companys to get the correct rates for hauling freight up and down the highways could save them millions yearly and offset high management cost , yet the ego's in these companys are incrediable, they would rather be losers, than take advice from a constant profit maker, npme.i just heard this other day,and can't validate it yet, but was told now we are not suposeed to spend money to have any of our hand held city opts cumputers fixed, while they give customers the ability to see when there freight is to deliverd, they also play a big part in determineing line haul needs at night as early as possable to get freight moveing early, duhhhh, thats what next day is all about. nobody does it better than npme. and to go with this,some genious was pushing for us to change systems, after we have developed this system and tweeked this deal for well over 10 yrs now. i truely would like to here who is actually telling npme,his name, how to operate and do next day better. as hard as yrcw has tried to interfere with ever part of our operation,this company has still ecked out a profit at the end of every quarter. these jerk-offs might kill this company in the end, but they will never kill the pride and determination that most of us have here at npme to keep this operation alive and continue to be the best of the best.
Nope, I am collecting and getting my house all nice and finished that way I don't have anything to do when I go back to work. Union didn't want to do anything about that BS with the jr man so that is fine. Wasn't Camp Hill, it's Reading. And I will be working next week for a place that took a majority of the Holland freight from the WB terminal. I don't want anything to do with YRC or any affiliates.hey wireman, you still collecting your unemployment checks? you working at camphill at all? i see you said in a differant post you were avaiable to work but jr.guy got called in. just curious if you got that straightened out and are working there or not.
That's the same with me. YRC can go to h*** as far as i'm concerned. Hoping to get hired by co. that gets all of YRC freight when they crash.Nope, I am collecting and getting my house all nice and finished that way I don't have anything to do when I go back to work.

Well the problem is most of these guys don't know any better. They will work for nothing as long as there is a little pay check at the end of the week. If everybody stuck together and wouldn't take a low paying job they would have to up the pay to get people. But if you don't take the job at .30cpm somebody else will. In this economy you can't be as picky as you use to be able to. I have been out of a job since the beginning of April and only had one job offer and then they turned around and said they were not gonna hire anybody. Come to find out they hired somebody else. It didn't bother me one bit...lol. Now here we are with only one company calling me all this time and now I got 3 that want me to start next week with 2 of them paying real good money.After reading alot it comes down to one thing, everybody and there Brother is wanting to be a Truck Driver. I heard a Driver over the radio last night talking about he was makin .39 cents a mile but not getting enough miles so thinking about going with another company that would pay him .35 but promised more miles.
You have alot of people out there just like that, give them somewhere to live a nice fancy truck, and gee we be a truck driver.
It is not hard to figure out why the Trucking Industry has gone down the drain.
