Yellow Freight closure thread

I would imagine from the looks of many that they aren’t eligible for UPS employment.

Also looking at the beat up vans they’d likely fail a driving test.

 

With so many of YRC's customers having diverted their shipments after the threat of strike how does YRC expect to stay alive with very little revenue being generated?

Layoffs. Word has it we laid off 800 drivers with 200 more getting the boot tomorrow (or today if you are in the Eastern time zone).

I was called in to work the dock for 5 hours since all of our dock casuals also got laid off. We sent out 40 bills on three linehaul trucks. Usually it's 400+ bills on 12 or more linehaul drivers.

So yeah. That's how that's going.

 

What about your 8 hour guarantee ?

 

I’m at a end of the line terminal in the midwest and yesterday we picked up a whopping 8 billls. Generally it’s 60 on the low side and as high as 110.
One saving grace at least for now is we are still getting a decent amount of inbound freight and that’s because Omaha is backlogged still. That will only last so long.

 

They don't honor it if you are on layoff status.

 

Never ending with those A holes.

 

I would file on it...
Why help them out if they are going to throw you under the bus...
