    And most everybody did pretty good.....except USA. He's bragging about dropping his operating ratio from 108% to 104%.....uhm ok. Just how someone thinks they're doing well spending a dollar four to get a dollar recieved is beyond me. I would never brag about bleeding cash.....but I don't run USA either.

    But I'm curious, most of the complainers about missed numbers blamed "cost headwinds" like salaries etc. You folks get a raise did you? Carrier says you did .......

    And some hit operating ratios in the low 80's. That's good for a mega. He should give you a raise, he's got the money.

    Last I heard the new bonehead ordered the trucks turned down to 62 from 63, to me that's a 1.58% pay decrease

    A loss is a loss either way you look at it. You either make money or you don't. The debt at USA is going up not down. It hasn't gone down for year now.

    Not happy that we are still losing, but the leaks are getting plugged more and more.
    Unlike the debt this country is in.

    I got an idea,all the people that seem to know how to turn the ship around and get there finances in better shape should get them to hire you as a consultant.There are a lot of financial experts on this forum,your expertise and knowledge of such things could be of great help in VanBuren and not on here.At least the pay would be better in VanBuren also versus on here where your financial advice and expertise is being handed out for free,just a thought lol

    would be fine with me Thomas but the board is so messed up, they would not hire anyone with any common sense. they are as much to blame as the so called ceo's that usa has had. just my opinion !!

    He's been a student for over 2 years, he would fit right in as CFO.
