Let's face it Itallian style You can't blame the other carriers for the position that YRC is in, YRC low balled rates just to to keep freight on their trucks, do you think the other carriers are just going to stand by?? There is a fine line between proffit and loss, at one point you have to raise rates wether it be fuel,labor or other cost reasons.
I am an ex Roadway guy layed off in 2008, and along with a few other guys have found a comfortable home at Conway, Despite the rumors you here, or the miss informed imformation you may get about this place, I'm making more money, and not working myself to death over here, and yes we do pay for benefits over here and have for along time.
You may want to expand your ways of thinking and open yourself up to all posibilties, It may happen to you someday!!!! A job is only a job!, but when you have a family to feed,clothe and send thru college your likely to be a little more open when it comes to those matters. Good Luck!

Great post :clap:
I am also a laid off Roadway from sept 2009 and I am lucky that Conway gave me a job I start Monday the 29th and I also have a family to feed and will be happy to be back at work.

Yeah, I know, but it is just something one doesn't put on the to do list. Now with the whole healthcare thing, they probably won't approve it any way. I know, quit smoking, quit drinking, eat right and so on. Some day I will quit having fun and be responsible. :popcorn:

You sound like my doctor. What do you do during the days? :threadsux:
 
My mother in law never smoked a day in her life, never had alcoholic beverage, plenty of veggies. Took her 7 long miserable years before passing.

Doctors didn't catch the tumor quick enough.

CNWY will increase their rates by 15% starting april 1 on certain shippers. DEEPTHROAT :clap:
[/quote]There going to have too. Otherwise Con-way would have been delivering the freight for nothing. Con-way and Fed Ex Freight screwed up trying to put YRC out of business by lowering their rates. They have a lot of freight that they can't handle with the low set rates. The only problem Con-way has now; is they might lose a lot of their customers by raising their rates. Con-way would have been in a better position financially if they didn't try to play games with YRC. Let the truth be known.
[/quote]

You cant prove conway did aggressive pricing to put YRC out of business ... this is why I dont like you ... you throw ::shit:: out there and cant prove it .. fed ex .. you can prove it .. they put it on paper what there intentions where.. fed ex started this aggressive pricing back in the 3rd quarter of 08 ... everyone else had to follow suit ...
