*Yellow booked a 96.6% OR in the fourth quarter, 99% excluding gains on real estate disposals."
How real is that?
And you wrote the article.

How much volume did they lose with the RDWY disaster ?
Shrink to Fit .... Round 2

All the guys cheering them on are cheering for another pension crash at lightning speed.
Reduction is the game....yet all I get is arguments.
I think my stance would go the opposite direction...but of course I don't know math and ain't business smart.
Business smart takes us out...a guy here...100 there...nobody's nothing the 25 at 50 other places.

So....What can the mathematical business geniuses tell me about this "booking a 96.6% OR".

I kinda thought that the OR which is good puts the decimal point before the 96. Not after.
Meaning they'd make 4 cents for every dollar spent.

Does this decimal point after the 96 mean they are spending 96 cents more than every dollar spent.

Enlighten me business minded mathematicians.

The OR here is given as a percentage. Didn't you notice the "%" symbol after the numbers?

As long as they're not operating at 102, I'm satisfied

96.3 operating ratio means that for every dollar collected in revenue, Yellow spent 96.6 cents from pickup to delivery. It does not mean that Yellow made 3.4% profit. It's called "operating" ratio because it does not include money spent on equipment, building maintenance or taxes. Equipment is everything from hand trucks to rolling stock.

Pension crash? Please explain, Yellow hasn't paid full rate in 15 years. They go out of business only guys with 25 years can collect there reduced payment for only paying in 25 percent. Everyone else has to wait till there 65 if vested.

Whatever they needed the bailout for from the government before....will happen again is what I'm saying.
A real fix would involve increases in numbers, not decreases like Yellow is attempting with this COO.

They're putting in $2.12/straight time hour for us.
Is that 25%?

What is rolling stock?

 

[almost13ranch]

What is rolling stock?

It‘s an old railroad term that nowadays means tractors, trailers, things like that.

Ah yes. Things with wheels.
Don't know if it was a movie, book, or documentary but I saw at one time that was the focus on Teamster organizing
Anything with wheels. Anybody who works with things with wheels.

And as Albag has pointed out....once again another American institution was thrown off track .....and now we are to expect nothing
Ridiculousness again.
Now we are to expect "You're lucky you have a job" by many whenever we might have a problem.

I thought the Economics Professor was going to Nashville a month ago to advise Hawkins on how to make money?

 

[wongway]

O.R. Numbers & other numbers are a numbers game , but Stock Price is a joke , for the so called largest LTL carrier being a Penny Stock is embarrassing ! Patel & Hawkins neeed to have a " SYNERGY " meeting about it ! p.s. , they are already gearing up to be very broke & poor for 2024 contract talks !!

I could definitely be wrong here, but I was always led to believe that operate ratio included everything...
Fuel, equipment, etc...
You could definitely be right Razor.
