The linehaul is easier driving and works out to a much better hourly rate. A lot of folks hate on my company but there's miles and they pay on time.
Central Freight went under, Yellow's going under, seniority is rising![]()

The city guys with long runs make out the best.road_runner and LtlAnonymous Thank this. -
Emergency night off. My sump pump disconnected from the ejector pipe.
If you guys never hear from me again, it's because I drowned.
The only question would be whether it was intentional or not.road_runner, Mike2633, Banker and 1 other person Thank this. -
Welp. The ejector pipe snapped clean right where it joins to the pump, so I'm officially in over my head. Calling in a professional.
And after three showers, I'm comfortable in my own skin again. Loldwells40, misterG, road_runner and 5 others Thank this. -
The regionals have always been profitable and it's the only thing that kept YRC afloat as they skimmed off our profits to keep their own stupid company from going belly-side-up.
What grinds my gear is that everyone I worked with under the USF umbrella has been fiercely loyal to their respective companies. Now that everyone is Yellow, all I see is skepticism amongst the drivers and customers.
I had one customer tell me "not sure if my freight is going to be on a Holland truck or a YRC truck anymore. Go about your way, I'm going to give this to FxF".
I am also well positioned to get off of this merry-go-round before it burns to the ground. I think Yellow will not survive the upcoming recession. Not unless they beg the government for another tax-payer funded bailout.misterG, The Shadow, Mike2633 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Mike2633 Thanks this.

YRC gives government 30% stake in its latest financial bailout
I'm sure the stock was issued with the hope they could purchase it back. If that is separate from the loan repayment, they have a long road ahead to independence.misterG, Mike2633 and road_runner Thank this. -
misterG, road_runner and LtlAnonymous Thank this.

misterG, The Shadow, dwells40 and 2 others Thank this.
