Third party scumballs like you have ruined this industry.
IMO you make some good and not so good issues in your post.
But one thing I noticed I did not see any "we" in your post.
Your 1st 3 paragraphs are all about you. I get this, and I make this.
Your next 3 paragraphs are all about the union workers. you should be happy, and your lucky to work here.
If you want drivers and dockmen to come around to your way of thinking.
You need to be talking more about What WE need to do for US to get this done.
The president of the company said equal sacrifice.

***News Flash*** If you worked in a Teamsters company you will be considered "radioactive" by prospective employers. They will take the guys that have only been with Yellow a couple of years, but if you have 10 years or more, your best hope will be "shiny wheels" for 35-40 cents a mile on PC miler, which is short about 10% from hub miles. No delay time. Insurance will cost of $100+ a week.

Now that's the best idea I've heard in along time, if after all these years no one knows who yrc is then the brand has failed
Either name it roadway or yellow and be done with it, at least people would know who we are
Let me help you out :
511 - Dallas TX (Irving TX) Roadway terminal
508 - Garland TX Roadway terminal
525 - Fort Worth TX Yellow terminal
509 - Dallas TX Yellow terminal closed
GAR - Garland TX Yellow terminal closed
There was a Dallas TX terminal on Anson rd but was closed and moved and is the Garland 508
There is a little D/FW history for you

Are you serious, if you don't speak Russian I doubt you'll get an over the road job and well if your past your 20"s you can probably forget the dock also,
Fed ex is probably hiring somewhere why not take one for the team and apply now then let the rest of us know how great the place is
I don't think he knows what he means!
...ok sure? Even though that was not my main point to posting this, but ok go ahead and ignore the main point to focus on some insignificant wording.
Yes I work two jobs to get ahead in life. Not because I have to because I want to. I want to be financially stable to enjoy my life so I'm going to pay off my student loans as fast as I can.
I'm not lazy, I'm not asking for handouts, I work hard for a fair days wage. Everyone thinks they are so entitled these days. You old timers want to be served on a silver platter. Things change people. We are no longer Yellow or Roadway. It's no longer 1998. Things are difficult. Rather than complaining and taking a stand that no one is going to hear get your ass up and adjust to change. You don't like your pay try going out on your own. Start your own business! Then you will see how hard things really are.
At least there are some out there that can see the big picture. Remember what happened to Hostess? Union problems here too with poor management. Things will go the same way read below for what happened to them when they voted to no concessions.
By December 2011, it was reported that Hostess Brands was on the verge of filing for bankruptcy a second time due to financial problems. The company stopped paying future pension benefits after August, thereby breaking its union contracts.[21] According to a Hostess worker at the time, "We understand that, should we pursue some form of legal action to require the company to live up to the terms of the contract, they may close, but we have come to believe that they will close anyway. We believe the company is poorly managed and the only hope is a complete change in management."[21]
On January 10, 2012, Hostess Brands filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy for the second time. In a statement in its filing, the company said it "is not competitive, primarily due to legacy pension and medical benefit obligations and restrictive work rules." The company said it employs 19,000 people and carries more than $860 million in debt. The company said it would continue to operate with $75 million debtor-in-possession financing from Monarch Alternative Capital, Silver Point Capital and other investors.[4]
They aren't 'using your money'. They are simply paying you less, because they are broke. They have no money. If they had money, you'd be making scale....
Whether he is or isn't- he makes valid points in both his posts. Listen to him or ignore him- the results are the same. The balloon payments are coming due. YRCW is seeking a solution. Fix it or suffer the consequences. Unless you're willing/able to assume the debt......
@Lager. :mf_swordfight: Ok I don't know every terminal code 100% off the top of my head there are quite a few ya know. Perhaps this will help to prove my current employment this would be my tax stub from 2012 with personal information removed for obvious reasons. I don't trust anyone. If you're still not satisfied feel free to test me in anyway you can. Or you can continue to attack credibility to ignore the facts I've posted on here.

First off, are you male or female?
Because if you are male, your balls were probably cut off before reaching puberty.
Another classic management response, "if you don't like it here, then just quit!"
I don't need to quit just because you THINK I should.
You don't know my personal/private situation, so tighten up that bunghole.
Go back to that cushy telephone center. I couldn't care less whether you work for YRC or not.
Go back to your own board!
Dodging his question? Are you Jeff, to say who posts? He has a valid question.
My guess to him would be : Conway has hired Teamsters in the past, yes. Estes might. OD definitely will NOT. I've tried, many others have tried. They are currently hiring 40 Road to position themselves in case of a YRCW close. I know the exTM there, and Office people there. Good Luck.... Fed-Ex, I have no idea....
Not debating his points? Just insulting???
Ad Hominem (Argument To The Man):
attacking the person instead of attacking his argument. For example, "Von Daniken's books about ancient astronauts are worthless because he is a convicted forger and embezzler." (Which is true, but that's not why they're worthless.)
More Specifically -> Poisoning the well – a type of ad hominem where adverse information about a target is presented with the intention of discrediting everything that the target person says.
Description of Ad Hominem
Translated from Latin to English, "Ad Hominem" means "against the man" or "against the person."
An Ad Hominem is a general category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of some irrelevant fact about the author of or the person presenting the claim or argument. Typically, this fallacy involves two steps. First, an attack against the character of person making the claim, her circumstances, or her actions is made (or the character, circumstances, or actions of the person reporting the claim). Second, this attack is taken to be evidence against the claim or argument the person in question is making (or presenting). This type of "argument" has the following form:
Person A makes claim X.
Person B makes an attack on person A.
Therefore A's claim is false.
The reason why an Ad Hominem (of any kind) is a fallacy is that the character, circumstances, or actions of a person do not (in most cases) have a bearing on the truth or falsity of the claim being made (or the quality of the argument being made).
Example of Ad Hominem
Bill: "I believe that abortion is morally wrong."
Dave: "Of course you would say that, you're a priest."
Bill: "What about the arguments I gave to support my position?"
Dave: "Those don't count. Like I said, you're a priest, so you have to say that abortion is wrong. Further, you are just a lackey to the Pope, so I can't believe what you say."
