Yellow | Designated terminal

There is a list of designated terminals and a list of velocity terminals in the COO.
I suppose a road driver will have bids with a particular designated terminal.
They will not work dock at home terminal but will work at the dock at the designated terminal and only the designated terminal, nowhere else.

I understand it that they might have around 50% designated terminal road bids shooting eventually for 85% eventually.

Utility drivers work dock at home terminal and their velocity bid terminals.

At least that seems to be the plan with this failing COO, so far.

Must be a Holland or New Penn operation?

Again, why not study what ODFL does and attempt to repeat their successes and avoid their failures.
But then that would require egos to be set aside on both parts..

Because OD doesn’t pay overtime until after 50, OD’s healthcare is nowhere near what yellows is and OD has no pension obligation, ya ya I know it’s only 25% but it’s still something….

We had a road driver leave when they brought in the Utility Bids a few years back with a COO.
He went to OK D ....OD built a couple new terminals in our area.

He was back looking for a job here a couple weeks ago because he's laid off.

They must really know what they're doing.

From what I understand they don't do layoffs... just "economic terminations"

The way OD runs their operations, procedures, linehaul, and management, is not even slightly close to the way YRC does any of those things.

A great reason to do so. There is a disconnect between what Yellow does and the remainder of the industry. How can one carrier serving the same area operate at a 69 and the other no profits for more than a decade.
Something is terribly wrong. Now is the time to reconstruct the entire system or join CF and the hundreds of other union carriers in the junk yard..
It is time for the Hail Mary pass.

OK one employee who was not happy. There are scores of miserable Yellow employees just on this board. All are underpaid.
Which network creates profits and jobs?
I suggest ODFL knows what they are doing, they had the best OR In LTL History recently and more importantly keep on doing it..
Meanwhile Yellow only survives off of corporate welfare....

Paying 2 people to do 1 job. Especially yard and fuel islands. Hour minimum to hook a set.
City drivers taking an hour to hook and leave the yard.
Wasted time at terminals and rail yards.
3 bills per hour on the docks.
Poorly planned City routes by management.
Outdated hub and spoke linehaul routes.
Damage claims compared to OD, not even close to compare them.
Over $400 weekly Company cost per employee for health insurance.

OD only recently started paying OT at 50 hours. Most sent home before 50 hrs.
City and road drivers don’t punch in at start time if their load isn’t ready.
Much more direct loading to destination terminals behind head loads or volumes.
People held accountable.
YRC is operating with procedures, dock and office, and work rules from 30 plus years ago.
Ok, go ahead and start throwing darts at me.

Big R, you must be Billy educated. Great post. The good and the bad of OD. No detention time paid while waiting for a meet.

Fifteen years to finally get around to "Hey....maybe 4 different terminals shouldn't go into the same town".


And they're still F'n around with it with rocket scientist ideas of how to screw the road driver and put them all on the dock.

They should've consolidated at least 10 years ago.

That just about guarantees a 14 hour day
