    Used to be a top-tier gig. Not anymore. Morale is very low. Equipment is mostly junk. They do have free health insurance, but it is way more than offset by much lower wages than the non-union companies pay these days. YRC has ruined them.

    Other than that, Holland is great.

    And on today’s episode of “As the steering wheel turns”, they had to cut 4 stops off my run today because we had not one but FOUR linehaul drivers who couldn’t get their butts back before 8:00 AM.

    They gave one of the most distant runs to some prima donna who had to be off at 5:30, so he could bring half of that freight back and not do any pickups.

    One of my customers was getting two hydraulic dock levelers that they decided to stick on the interline load so it could be right on the back, and some idiot left a skid on the dock, that I get to deliver tomorrow.

    :rolleyes:

    Somebody needs to be fired for this.:mad:

    But alas, here at “All garbage freight all the time” stupidity is not only tolerated, it’s encouraged. :rolleyes:

    i assume there are some big arrows and such on that box saying "this side up" (pointing UP from the pallet) that just aren't in the picture

    that's pretty impressive
    how do they expect you to get that out?

    amazing how alike ALL warehouses are
     
    MACK E-6 Thanks this.
