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

Don't get 'put to bed' at 324 today. No rooms left (Brickyard 400). Gotta go find a room elsewhere. GRRRrrrrrrrrrr.

 

Did you make the seniority list or are you still on probation?

 

Yup sounds like you should grieve that. But good luck with that with all the back office deals that go on nowadays.

 

Damnn ACH1130, I hope it all gets worked out. Sounds like your manager is a real hardass.? I hope my manager never tries to redneck me. I am Irish with the proverbial temper. I would hate to have to tell him to go #@&% himself.
Anywho, we are busy as helll lately, which is good by me. Making killer $$$. And, I'm still loving this job. I just hope I don't get laid off this Winter, but, I will be ready if I do, no biggie.
Hey ST, I am at 309 all the time. Couple days ago, I saw this skinny guy, who was on a sleeper team, & wondered if it was you. lol He had grey hair though & I don't think you are grey yet.

 

No sir. It wasn't me. I'm only 36 and no grey hair yet. LOL. However if I stay here much longer I'm sure I will be in the future. @ACH. Keep your head up brother. Management at this company can be very intimidating at times but it is very important to remember that you pay dues to the Union for a reason. You need to exhaust any and all opportunities with them. Not sure if you guys saw the headlines yesterday but the company came out with the 2nd quarter earnings report and the company as a whole made money for the first time since 2008. YRC Freight is at a 100.6 OR and the regionals i.e. Holland, New Penn, and Redaway are at 94.o OR. This is a sign of very good news guys and I urge you all to be very optimistic about this news. Believe me when I tell you I have worked here thru the good and the bad and this the best I've felt in a long time about working here. Going to the beach today with the family. Be safe out there. Off to Tracy, CA on Monday.

 

Yeah the company does seem to be doing a bit better. They are still playing the "we are broke wah wah wah card" over here in Cali though. Still giving us the scare tactics, trying to keep us on our toes. I really don't like the scare tactics. It's bad enough you have to hear about how the world is gonna end or the economy is gonna collapse, aliens are gonna attack, etc hahaha. Anyway, we here it enough in the news, why does my job have to do it too. We already know it's bad, geez! Other than that, my barn is great! Really laid back and easy going. I work for Reddaway though.

ACH I hope it all works out for you. That really sucks what happened. Hopefully the union will fight for you and not against you. Or pretend they are fighting for you like they did for me. Sounds like you might already have it worked out though.
