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

Well after 1.5 years I'm moving on. Start with ODFL tomorrow....just got tired of damaged freight, late freight, low hours and horrible morale. I really find it hard to believe 2019 is going to yield what a lot of people are hoping for in wage/pension increases the way freight is moving....why reward foolishness on the docks?

 

Good luck. You doing P&D or Line Haul? When I worked on the dock at Yellow 10 years ago the amount of freight I would see damaged on a daily basis was unreal... Pure laziness and ignorance is what that is.

 

P&D still, but there are much better opportunities for linehaul runs should I chose to go that route without losing seniority.
We were told the dock workers were laying down (again) to make a point and all of our freight was late and torn up. They just introduced a new MOU which will eliminate positions at current break-bulks and open new ones at current end-of-line terminals that are transitioning into break-bulks.

 

What are break bulks?

 

Large terminals that receive freight for their location but also unload/reload freight to go down the line. Think Atlanta, Dallas, KC, Denver, etc.

 

It's been awhile since anyone has posted here....
How are things going at YRC these days?
Anyone?

 

Depends on location..
