Yellow Freight closure thread

Not sure about oversea sales since the shipping is way more than what our equipment is worth. But I can definitely see a lot of it to going to Mexico and Canada.

On a side note, they laid two of the people below me off. I barely dodged the bullet.

 

Again, hate to thank this.

 

In 2012 my company sold 150 2004-2007 Centuries with an average of 850,000 miles to a buyer in Mexico (if I recall correctly). There will be buyers for the trucks, for parts if nothing else.

And if you think your trailers are sketchy - just look at the trailers pallet companies run.

 

down here it's the pine straw people

 

The only use for pine straw I know of is to mark ski slopes. What are y'all using it for?

 

landscaping stuff.....to fill in the flower beads and whatnot.......what ya'll use mulch for

 

Fire Hazard ....

 

So I am in several closed off Facebook communities involving strictly union members and things are not looking so great on here either.

I understand posting this is not the most ethical thing to do so I cropped out as much as I could for privacy reasons. Please don't ask me what groups they came from, just take it that I am acting on good faith and that I didn't manipulate the content aside from cropping and resizing them.

So here is the general mood over the past few days.

 

Here at ABF we have had layoffs nation wide starting a day ago. Tonight 3 city drivers here in Reno were informed. I know we were going to hire at least one yellow driver, he was in the hiring process. Things aren’t looking that great

 

My buddy from TTR is tight with the HR lady and tried to squeeze me in for a job in my area. She cited a hiring freeze and was not able to help me
