    That could be the case but maybe not, it took me little over a year and about 4 applications to finally get a interview with them and then I got hired, since then , two of the three drivers that were hired in front of me have been fired., which moved me up.

    Why did they get fired? I want the juicy details. Also I work at yrc and I'm lucky bc it's a small terminal and all they guys have a bunch of vacation time from working there so long so I fill in on all the routes- makes for good variety instead of the same route all the time. But every terminal is different

    Understand that I don't have anything against YRC, I think it's a travesty as far as what's happened to that company, and I feel bad for the employees because they are the ones that have been paying the price for it, outside looking in it just doesn't seem like a stable place to work, hope I am wrong though and that its working for you, I don't want to get into details on what happened to those guys, I wasn't thrilled about moving up that way being that both of them were good guys and I got along with them, still talk to them actually, but basically it was over the cameras and the cell phone policy, safety and management will only give you so many warnings before they do the inevitable.

    They definitely do a lot of stuff ### backwards sometimes regarding logistics and other things but I for sure love not having an inward facing camera, not that I'm doing anything I shouldn't be. This is probably the only local company I'd want to work for and if they go belly up I'd have no problem going otr bc this is a really laid back terminal ( most of the time)
