Yellow Freight closure thread

Just another company pocketing all the money and shafting the drivers with no Vaseline. It's funny how they can always pop out of nowhere with incredible amounts of money.

 

Ritchie Bros auction have a bunch of yellow pups on their lot.....

this is a Ohio location on 70

 

Trucking firm XPO to buy bankrupt Yellow's service centers for $870 million (msn.com)

 

Expect more of their “newly acquired” assets to be pulled out of ditches!

 

That Carlisle terminal is a beast! 300 doors I think.

 

These companies have do much to do everything with but pay drivers properly lol

 

Like .60 a mile and $30 an hour is chump change??? Most of those guys are doing $100k ++ a year and home every day.
What would you suggest is reasonable compensation for a high school graduate truck driver??

 

Their are plenty of high school drop outs making the dollar

 

Sure. And there's many more who aren't.
Speaking as a high school drop out.

 

Honestly, I think we should be paid from the time we set foot on that yard until the time we walk off the yard. I know you may think I'm crazy, but that's my opinion. Are we well compensated? Yes. Still, I Believe wages AS A WHOLE should increase substantially across the board.
