Yellow | Rumors of layoffs?

[Cab Lizzard]

10 road drivers were put on layoff in Memphis,TN. 5 had just graduated from their academy and were training. I'm currently training for my CDL through the CDL academy, does anyone know whats the hiring policy is regarding academy students that are suppose to get a position after attaining their cdl but the Memphis terminal has current layoffs?

You are SOL ....... At the end of all the promises and lies your seniority number is the only thing that can save you.

WAAAY out in left field but what's stopping yellow from laying off at holland to avoid the dovetail? Again way out there and might not be an issue at the rate guys are leaving. Here at 386 (MI) the idea of this is making our TM reach for the baby oil late at night.

Holland 364 Kansas City, KS. Two guys retired this week and laid off 4 more on Friday. 10 were laid off in November.

It’s not way out there. New Penn and YRC share a terminal with the same TM running both in NJ the New Penn side had 8 drivers and 2 dock get laid off YRC side had 1 dock guy who has been called back already.
We had the same question.

 

[LarWoo]

Any word how many supervisors, ops managers or terminal managers have been laid off because it’s slow ?

I could take an educated guess

True, but are you saying they weren't going to plant a crop?
And by the way, no trucks, no farmer

I don't know how their hiring in Buffalo right now. Hiring linehaul and p&d drivers. Are that many drivers retiring or jumping ship. Even offering a $7500 sign on bonus.

$7500 sign on bonus but can't pay full pension. Jack Cooper doing the same crap too after they cut the pension.

 

[useless]

is the 7500. with or without the -15% taken off the top?... asking for a future NP employee

No -15. You get 2 sets of spare mirrors.

Talk out West is your government wants to pay farmers to not plant. This time it's to save water.

Then no need for trucks, no farmers, no trucks needed.

They're always paying them, not matter if they grow anything or not.

Thank goodness we're diversified enough to haul things other than to just farmers or the things they need...

Farmers are the backbone of our country. Food and all that goes along with it.

They may be, but several of us subsidize them constantly.

So what, what is the problem? They have to exist to keep the country viable.

No problem with that.
Grow a crop and sell it.
My tax money shouldn't be included to offset the prices.

Your tax money is wasted on a daily basis, hell it's wasted just paying politicians a salary so pay the farmers at least we get Roi. Our tax money is subsidizing illegal aliens so why not farmers. I have no problem with Yeller getting all that money, hasn't cost me a minute of sleep.
