very cool! My dad has worked for YRC for 25+ years. He started in sales, managed different terminals, moved up to exhibit service management in Atlanta, and just took over as Director of Exhibit services East coast. I love YRC so far and wouldn't mind a union job if one ever opened up. The $$$ calls to me
OK, delivered in Beaumont on Monday and picked up a load at the same customer going back to Paulsboro, NJ (pd miles- 1471) dropped that last night. Today I have a 2 pickup load coming from Bensalem, PA going to Fort Mill, SC (pd miles- 580) We are Celadon now. So I guess this thread comes to an end since there is no more Glen Moore. Thanks for reading
You pickup is not far from my location. Celadon????!!!! Hopefully your pay goes up rather than decrease.Hope all goes well.
Just an FYI, when Celadon buys out a company the drivers that are brought over do NOT take a cut in pay, they do not loose seniority, they do not loose vacation. Because of this policy Celadon has a few drivers working for them, because of the time they worked for the other company that was bought out, on paper it looks like they have worked for Celadon longer than it has been in business.
Very true. When link america bought out gene hyde there were drivers that spent 20 years at hyde, so technically they were with the company before the company was formed (link america)
I was a Glen Moore driver and yea they kept the pay the same some what,but as for the. The senourty,they did not,I had 10 years with GM the only thing I kept was my pay,but they only gave me 41.5 where as I was at 43,and they came up with reasons out the butt why not. They are not so great. Got a lot of issues. I am a number not a person
I was with Glen Moore until they shut the doors on the company. They forced me and the truck and load to Indy with no advanced notice. (You know the story.) I stayed for two and a half days of the cluster-funk, fire hazard orientation. That was the most disorganized circus act I have ever seen! Nobody in the company could answer specific questions and everyone had a different answer. After they told me all of the reasons I shouldn't stick around (severe pay cut such as donate 2 days before any layover, donating 4 hours before one cent for detention, 1.5 cent pay cut, no seniority, no place to park because I parked at a YRC yard, etc.), I left and paid my own way home with a rental car because Celadon refuse to get me home with my property. Not to mention, I was still there 2-1/2 days later and was out of hours so it would've been another two days sitting in that Nazi concentration camp because they wouldn't let you botail in the GM tractor for anything. They gave me a $48 comchek for a bus ticket which is worthless. You can't bring like 250+ pounds of "luggage" on a bus and you couldn't carry it to begin with and the greyhound would bring me 60 miles from where I needed to go to begin with! It costed me an additional $178 (on top of that $48) to get back to my vehicle with my property! I guess they didn't understand that I never worked for Celadon. I worked for Glen Moore and they forced me there yet refused to get me home. I'd never apply to or work for a cheap freight megacarrier mill that treats my time like it is worth nothing and it's no big deal. I worked for Knight and Western Express so I know how these companies operate! They don't care about you at all. You're a number which is easily replaced by another driver (who will be the same truck number). Just being honest. Glen Moore treated us well as drivers and people and respected us. Someone from GM on here recommended ACT. I will check it out more. He seemed pretty happy so far...and so did a bunch of others on here. Best of luck to you whatever you do!
