Speculation on YRC’s survival ramps up
On its earnings call with analysts, YRC management said that they wouldn’t be fielding questions from analysts due to a “tremendous amount of uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and the rapidly changing environment.”
[YRC] remains in perpetual turnaround mode, the latest referred to as a “multi-year enterprise transformation strategy,” that includes asset utilization initiatives, migrating all of its separate operating units onto the same technology platform, reporting all five brands on a consolidated basis, favorable work rules following the 2019 labor contract implementation, shuttering terminals, closing New Penn’s headquarters, debt restructuring, headcount reductions, a hiring freeze and suspension of short-term incentives.
Stifel Financial (NYSE: SF) equity research analyst David Ross sees the second quarter as “make or break” for the carrier and questions the company’s survival.
“At this point, we believe it’s dependent on two things: a) U.S. government assistance in the form of a grant to cover payroll, health care, and/or other expenses, and b) how quickly volume returns as the economy reopens this month. If we don’t get any good news in the next 30 days, we would not be surprised to see a wind down of operations on or before July 4th weekend.”

That’s got to go over like a fart in church.Locally there are drivers furloughed as well as dockworkers.
Instead of adjusting any bids linehaul drivers returning in the morning are made to work the dock.
Local TM LOVES it! Taking a driver that's been working all night and slapping them on the dock on straight time.That’s got to go over like a fart in church.

Get what you pay for.Did anyone notice if there were more part-time dockworkers off?
According to management that I spoke with , there's no holiday pay for part-timers so , no real incentive to work the day before or after a holiday.
Honestly , why wouldn't you take off before and after every holiday?
