You're hilarious......"I'm just so thankful I have a job" And yes, there are obviously too many people to count that would love to have my job. So what........if I want to complain about issues in this forum.......that's what it's here for. If you don't like what I write, ignore it. My point has always been, if we were to compare apples to apples (ABF-YRC) one makes money (with no concessions) and the other?............So keep taking your happy pills.......you'll need them when they pull the plug.

You're hilarious......"I'm just so thankful I have a job" And yes, there are obviously too many people to count that would love to have my job.

You make a good point, let's compare apples to apples. But don't stop with just ABF, let's also compare YRC to CF, Time-DC, Branch, Spector, Navajo, Transcon, St. Johnsbury, Cooper-Jarret, etc., etc. How does YRC (even in as bad a shape as they are) compare to those outfits these days? No comparison I guess!
You also made another good point, you're just on here to complain and moan and I get it. No problem, nothing productive to offer but that's OK now that I know where you're coming from.

Its ok triplex. Relax and don't fret. There will be a nice tall glass of kool-aid sitting next to your "yes" pen.
He'll need the kool-aid to take his happy pills!
Tell you what slim, if you ever find yourself thirsty and have nothing to drink, I'll gladly share my Kool-aid with you!
:DYou poor thing, you just don't get it do you. It takes much less effort to be optimistic then to walk around with an attitude. I don't need stimulants to be happy whereas I imagine you do.
Yes I am.........15% poorer. And on top of that, this C.O.O. will move work that myself, and many of my brothers have been doing (myself for 23 years) to a terminal that doesn't produce nearly as well as my terminal. Now, you keep spouting all these positive vibes to us........so tell me, how does it make sense to downgrade the good and upgrade the bad?
If what you say is true then offhand I can't say it makes any sense. But without knowing all the reasons for the change I'd only be forming an opinion without knowing all the facts. I certainly sympathize with you for the loss of work, but not knowing more about why it's being done just leaves a bunch of questions unanswered. Maybe somebody knows more about all the real reasons for the change.
ppaddy123, if you're at 123 which I would assume from your name, isn't 123 a gaining location?

Negative. Roadway-Yellow owned about 750-800 terminals between them. Buy-outs always involve sell-offs to pay for acquisitions. Some terminals were sold, some were used for asset backed loans. You're the finance expert so if you say they will never pay it down why have the banks not filed and cashed out? Obviously YRC has not defaulted and has the liquidity. This COO will cost jobs and ruin more lives but that's the bad feature about capitalism..sometimes it hits the fan
it's Obama's fault

Interesting in that we seem to be moving forward but still slipping backwards. Any way trying a litigation move will amount to nothing and take years to fight. I agree with one thing...we got boned giving up 15% of our wages for stocks which the Union and the Company crammed down our throats. We should've )Hindsight is 20/20) had back up clauses in place to protect our interest. Is this not what we pay Onion dues for? Anyway we are stuck with what we got....onward...
Slim get old Trip to tell you the truth......he's RETIRED!!!!!! It's no wonder he has no problems mate!!!!!!

ABF is ecstatic that it made a million in profit..you think? I don't think so. The war at ABF has yet to come. Can't understand what's taking that court so long to render a decision on the lawsuit. If YRC wins the stock will skyrocket and ABF's will take a dive making ABF more desperate
OK i get it now..........he's not drinking kool-aid.............he's drinking ensure!
Watch out or I'll dump my colostomy bag into your defroster vents, dagnabbit! (My apologies to real bag users)
If I'm retired, will someone please tell me where my pension checks have been all this time? I just love this place!! :LMAO:
Thats the monthly deposit to your account that ya been trying to figure out....We know its just a drop in the bucket for you tho. :Poke:
