Yellow | Major Meeting In Overland Park This Morning?

Big meeting at Overland Park of trucking executives....lots of cigars smoked....lots of Scotch drank.....and as usual...nothing much else accomplished
 
If true about this so called meeting.Maybe the discussion was about pricing strategy and how it would help out all if an alliance was formed to keep the rates up.Nobody wins in this industry if each other is cutting rates.Maybe the alleged companies involved were the only ones to show up.The other companies didnt want to play ball as a team.

Our TM here in Baltimore who also fills in has the labor rep is in Kansas City this week also. I asked last night what was going on and the reply I got was the labor reps from all the YRC companies were there for a meeting this week..Seems somethings going on..
 
You guy's need to get the real info. YRC is being forced to come up with some cash so R&L is buying Reddway and the ridge ABF is buying Holland & New Penn plus 309 (to keep undesirables out of the neighborhood) Then ABF will merge Holland & New Penn and keep them as a seprate co. The Abf employee,s will go on strike therefore YRC will have cash to buy all ABF'S equipment. So everyone is now happy ABF get's a new co. with a 15% pay cut and no major pension payment's. YRC get's new equipment and plenty of application's from the ABF driver's that are walking the picket line waiting for contract so they can get back to work even though they now have no equipment!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a good weekend:fan:

I somehow doubt that a mission from God involves directives from YRC Management.... not even the End of the World scenarios.....

That is the only fact about the meeting I know. Not sure about any of the other rumors being posted about the meeting. Funny thing is how fast some members want to high-jack a post about something that could be important to everyone, then nobody reads the important posts any longer because they get tired of reading the useless posts by members that don't really care what's going on anyway.
 
So if there is a strike is just the regions that voted down their supplements that go out? Then if that's the case then there will a lot of freight rerouted which would suck!
 
Since it is in the NMFA that we don't haul struck goods , that means ABF freight is off limits, or open season since they are a competitor!

It wouldn't be the first time. In 1994 705 stayed out and freight was routed around Chicago.

That is NOT what that language means. Besides it's not the freight that's on strike, it's the carrier. So you won't be crossing any LEGAL pickets.
 
The thing i dont understand with what ODFL is trying to do is ,they want to lower there rate for national freight, becuz they are not at the tonnage average they want it at, but at the same time they operate in the. Mid 80's, which no one else in the LTL industry can evn come close to. So it seems they are willing to have a higher Op So they can be at full capacity then to have the lowest OP in the industry. Idk, seems kind of weird to me
