thats funny once or twice a weekWe're in this position because of ame bad mistakes Yellows management had made.Yellow always borrowed money. Roadway believed in being debt free.Yellow borrowed the money to buy us and USF.They over paid for USF in millions.We as Yellow Roadway Corporation had to write off around 600 million. Now that the economy has tanked how are we going to pay Dutshe bank(a German Bank that I might have spelled wrong).Freight levels dropped,money is due.Yellow Roadway asked us for a10% pay cut for the remainder of the contract.Merger of Yellow Roadway into one has taken place.Roadway management has taken over. Now anybody that has been in the freight business for a while knows Roadway knows how to run a trucking company.YRC is saving over 20 million a week with the concessions.Once they get the kinks worked out of this merger they will kick ***.Right now look on the highway what do you see at damn near every mile marker. A YRC unit.It is easy to kick a company in hard times but do not. I repeat do not let YRC get up under a Roadway management system.Our terminal manager has tol d us the first two on the hit list is is R&L and Old Dominion.I don't even think that Vitran is even on the radar. Hell,you see a Vitran truck about once or twice a week anyway.

The only reason that you see a YRC truck at every yard marker is because Yellow couldn't do it on their own and had to buy another company to survive in the best of times. If it wasn't for Roadway. Yellow would be gone!
You are correct about that.If it was not for Roadway, Yellow would be in big trouble.Thats why YRC is on the Roadway computer system,management system,etc.....
You have to be SH**ting me. I have never seen Y R C or any company run so poorly. The so called Roadway system is antiquated. Yellow should have spent the 10 million to have the yellow system put in place, instead of looooooooosing 10 million and some big customers. Oh well shoulda, coulda, woulda................ I will be surprised if things turn around. The downward vortex is spinning at such a fast speed it will take a miracle to pull out. I do not wish in any way for Yrc's demise butas I said it's going to take alot and if they survive they will be a force to reckon with.
We are on your hit list at R&L!!!! I can tell you, that really scares us!!!
No ,I'm not Sh**ting you. Roadway was doing fine until the Yellow-Roadway merger a few years ago.The problem with a company or an individual is to not borrow money. If you do borrow money never borrow so much that if something happens to the economy,your job,you can pay it back.That is what happened to Yellow when they bought us and USF. They bit of more than they could chew. Roadway now has control of the ship.
Roadway has over 50 years experience in running freight. Through the good and bad times they always MADE IT.How long has your company been around?
My father has had over 35 years with Roadway as a P&D driver.He started in the early 70's with a company called Western-Gillett that got bought out buy Roadway. I have been a linehaul driver for 13 years out of Memphis,Tn.
I think that maybe you had better entertain that idea, because the day Yellow decided to use the Roadway system instead of UPGRADING to the Yellow system, they made a 10.1 million dollar mistake!I can not imagine working for one of these other outfits.(besides UPS)
