The sad part of this that I am seeing here in the DFW area is this: I know (personally) of at least 4 USF employees who USED to work at either Yellow or Roadway.
They were discharged for one reason or another (which I won't go into details about here). I would not give them a SNOWBALL in H&!! chance of being considered for being hired by either Yellow or Roadway now.
WHERE DO THEY GO FOR WORK?!?!?!?

Got too big too fast!!!! $Bill Zollers, a forward thinking CEO,did not see down turn in economy.Some visionary we have running our ship.Now we are heavy into debt,creditors no longer rate us worthy.What worries me is he closes 27 to 30 centers,saves 10 to 30 million? and Wall street BARELY blinks an eye.I feel this is only the beginning of cost cutting.It's time for new leadership in DC.,possibly,a young man from ILLINOIS with NEW ideas and less FEAR!. GOOD LUCK to all those who lost their jobs.

DHL...I can only hope!!!
why would u hope for dhl to take us over.?....they will shut us down too........
Yellow and roadway were actually close to or exceded target forcasts, as did New Penn. The YRC website says there will be no combining of the Yellow and Roadway brands. While we may see some work overlap the two brands, like linehaul operations, they will for all intents and purposes be kept seperate.
As for the shiny wheels pulling freight, it says that the amount pulled off the rails and put on the shiny wheels will be 4% the first year. What difference does it make whether that 4% is on a train or a non union truck? It is still not being handled in house. This is just one of the reasons I voted no to this contract. I still don't see how putting our freight in the hands of any out of house concern can be more profitable than keeping it all in house. At my terminal, we used to use a lot, and I mean a lot of outside cartage to move our freight. We told our managers, that we could move it faster and cheaper than a cartage agent. Know what happened? We were right, and one of our past cartage agents ended up closing because we no longer gave them anything and we kept our customers happy and the cartage charges stayed in our barn. Unfortunately, that was before the merger, and now they would rather use cartage agents again, instead of growing the list.
the sad truth either yrc or abf dont burn any bridges
I don't see how them being fired (and you not posting the reasons) as being at all related to this thread. We all make our own bed to some degree. Then we get to lie in it. Reputations precede us if we're fired. Justified or not, that's a whole lot different than innocently working along, and then having your job or terminal eliminated....

In Atlanta the Holland terminal looks like they
have half of the road units parked during the day and I over heard one of their drivers say
they had layed off 51% of the shuttle or night
road drivers.

Thank U for the welcome, stldude44. Yeah! I really understood the story. It really saddened me and I felt that old Marvin Gaye tune " What's Going On?".

I guess we will just have wait and see since
there seems to be a lot of rumors pointing to
DHL. I just don't like seeing drivers being layed off or shafted by the companies because of
**** poor management I don't know how many
times in the last 26 years in the trucking bussines I've heard management tell me I'm
just not seeing the big picture but I'm still waiting for one of those A-holes to draw it for me so maybe I can get the big picture????? As to price range DHL has very deep pockets they are in Europe and ASIA what UPS is here in the USA and just like FedEX buying American freight and Watkins and UPS buying Overnight they want
a national LTL unit to compete in the US market.

I just think it would be hilarious for the only NMFA carriers to buy out the biggest anti-union carrier that I know of.

bought but at times like this I'm glad we were not.

Sure, he can afford to go the rest of the year without pay. He made in 6 weeks this year, what it would take us 4 years to make. Plus he still gets to cash in his stock options and collect a bonus since a bonus is not considered payroll.
Please......tell it to someone else, cause I for one, don't believe he deserves any money for the **** poor job he has done the last 5 years.
