More LTL Drivers Loose Jobs in NC

man - talk about sideways doom and gloom reporting -


the story was not even scratched in this press release...

sure the conversion to a PnD center will result in OTR jobs lost - but the inflow of freight will be greater from other regional SC's.

(OTR jobs created)

 

Jobs shifted at most, not created.

 

I was wondering how losing say 50 jobs in one town and maybe gaining 40 in another town could be considered otr jobs gained.

 

If an OTR job is posted in a terminal that did not formerly have an OTR position -

and if due to the Gaining code or losing code of that terminal - the OTR job is new


Then the job was not shifted - it is "new".

I will say that you are correct in one regard - your idea applies to the gaining breakbulks in the regions - where as displaced workers could bid during the phone in period next week.

 

LOL, union math?

 

We do that differant down here.

If you steal $50 from me, and I catch you, after you've only spent $10. Then beat you down and take the $40 back.

Yer still going to jail for stealing $10.

You'll just have some extra bruises.

 

about 70% of the customer base was overlapped - but snce the yellow guys are bringing their freight with them - and since our network is (will be) even larger - our 2 day and 3 day rates will be more competitive than they were (are) right now...

once it gets up and running - YRC Trk should be able to bring back most that are laid off.

(1 to 2 year window)

 

because the losing terminals will rebound and call back laid off guys - or hire from outside if all of the laid off guys come back -

in the mean time - the "new" positions at the other terminals will be set.

i.e.

Dayton Ohio 1st COO of 2005 we lost 23 drivers - they picked up 5...

(net loss of 18) (for about 6 months)

then during the 2nd COO of 2005 we picked up 30 - and they picked up 2 more

so at the end of the year we actually gained 14 total in our district.
