Or maybe they should take a page out of the book of New Penn from the past.24 pallets on the floor and the trailer is out the door.Now it's outbound lets cube out 53' trailers that go maybe an average of 250 300 miles. so it can take an inbound guy 2hours to strip. Increase load factor,equates to less roadmen, more damages.
That is the desired effect.I'll i know is ever since they started loading high n tight I've had at least 1 or 2 guys sitting everynite @ 22.

New Penns in been in business 80 years ? Has always floor loaded. Some argue that the new system is costing them in freight claims, comp claims and customer service. I think high and tight is cost effective when you have the luxury of taking the time to do it right. But New Penn being a next day carrier does not have that luxury.So wait, you mean to tell me the company should incur extra expenses and floor load trailers? If that was the case companies would go out of business.
As a business owner you would be trying to cut costs, you do it in your personal life, so please explain your reasoning for such thinking. Honestly.
your dead on. Linehaul comes in at 900 or 1000 am with 50 bills to be strpped and loaded onto peddle runs that were scheduled to be on the street at 800 amI did a short stint with New Penn in '89 and they had a mix of freight that permitted them to floor load with little top loading. I felt like they targeted the freight that they wanted and needed and left the rest behind. When moving freight overnight and trailers come in at 0800 to be on the street that day there is not enough time to pick through a floor to ceiling 45'er (which is what they had).
YRC says is cost effective. Losing customers is never cost-effective. Go after more garbage freight.
Claims also rise when freight is doubled up and moved fast instead of properly8am start. Average time leaving yard? 10-1030!! Why? 8-12 inbound loads arriving late every morning. Why?
Yrc's "load optimization plan"
Use 53's with logistics bars. Load them full even if it means sitting at dock waiting for freight. Takes longer to load. More damages, longer to unload!
But hey. They might be able to cut a road guy and not pay him. Smh
Kind of sounds like Don isn't to happy about New Penn guys getting a little bonus.
Maybe...Don should look in the mirror? Or MAYBE... The CEO should compare Don's managment decisions to that of Holland and Reddaway?
