Reddaway City Drivers/P&D Forum

I haven't come across a forum specific to Reddaway CITY DRIVERS or P&D under YRC so I thought I'd create one. Please keep your postings related to Reddaway CITY DRIVERS or P&D only. Don't want to go off on rabbit trails of other parts of the company such as line haul, road driver etc. Not interested in other divisions of YRC either. I've noticed a lot of mixed up forums on here, especially under YRC. Lets keep this narrowly focused to just Reddaway City Drivers or P&D. That being said, I hope this thread will help those of us wanting to research this specific area.

Does anyone know what the average hourly starting pay is for the City Driver/P&D position?

I've read that some locations are Union and some are not. How does this affect pay if at all?
