Experience with YRC ( includes YRC, New Penn, USF Reddaway and Holland

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Tennessee doesn't have a state tax. Last I heard YRC in Nashville is hiring anyone with a beating heart

 

No state income tax. Isn't that awesome! Hopefully they still are hiring when I move there.

 

I am wondering if the contract ever got settled by this date? Did you ever get your pay brought up to scale. I think it is supposed to be around $24 with some change hourly and low 60cents for miles by now.

 

no state income tax aint all its cracked up to me..there is none here in NV, but they make up for it in other ways. My car registration in NC is $28..here it goes by the MSRP of the car when brand new(scam) so my registration here is almost 400 bones..

 

Wow the one about californians is dead on to what I think haha

 

"@Chaos our pay scale tops out at high 24 and is 63cpm, heard its suppose to go up when the new contract comes out"


Cool. I think the first time I worked at a Teamster barn was in about 1976, and I THINK I made around 9 bucks an hour working casual. That was at Yellow Freight in Marietta Georgia. I THINK that was Marietta, hell I don't know for sure where I am at half the time right now, let alone way back then. I worked at Consolidated a lot later on in the 1980s. I never got to drive except in the yard, spotting trailers. Always wanted to. Sort of one of those things, I got tied up in another trade because that is what came up for me at the time and just stayed there. I'm retired now. I have great memories though, the Teamster guys were really nice to me. I mentioned this on another post, but I won't ever forget the time I had a picket up on a company in the Sheet Metal Union that had gone rat. A Consolidated driver wouldn't cross it and those guys had to walk way across the parking lot, across the street and up the hill carrying heavy metal panels about twenty foot long, big ones, double walled, and thickly insolated. They worked like dogs. That was so funny, me and the driver just standing there watching them. lol

 

Yeah it's BS they can pull power on us, outside terminal is priority if they send alot their out first then we get the scraps then it goes down seniority. My yard we have alot of senior drivers. I've got year in but it ain't enough. It's been busy here but if a terminal sends half their board it eats alot of freight up. Yeah I've always wanted my own truck but don't want to be on the road for months at a time. If that truck ain't rolling you ain't making money. Think ill stay a company driver unless I find a dedicated. I see this daycab KW o/o pulling line haul FedEx Freight doubles every week. It be nice to do something like that. He obviously does a layover.

 

Haha sounds like us not knowing what's going on. What drives me nuts is constant waiting. I want to turn on my 10 but that never happens. Our lanes do get boring, now I got a bid But even though I got it I still want to keep my options open. I'm not big fan of the schedule here, nights don't bother me just wish they ended earlier. Late morning leaves no time to do anything when you come into the day off. It's sleep your sat away or be a Zombie on a sat. That's why my buddy's job appeals to me and maybe that other regional.
