Yeah EXACTLY. Bring in people 1-3 hours earlier and send them out with the previous day's freight that came in late. Instead Yellows freight doctrine states that no truck may leave the terminal unless they have 10 bills or more loaded

I would have 8 hills loaded and sit around for two hours waiting on linehaul to show up to get an additional two stops added. So now I leave late with 10 stops and ,5 returns vs leaving early with 8 stops and no returns.

You want to lose customers? Just sent your drivers out late and leave them with no room or time for pickups. That's the YRC way.

Why can my colleagues and I figure this out and stupid mega corporate can not? Just crunch the numbers when we were Reddaway/Holland/New Penn and compare that data to how things are going now that we are just ONE YELLOW.

I am am angry. And I have every right to be angry. Both Reddaway and Holland were awesome companies to work for. I was proud to be part of both of them (dispite some of my issues I've had). People that work for them cared about their job. Now our parent company is forcing us into the same boxed mentality that contributed to their own failures.

If it makes you feel better there are days at the Dayton Yard where we just start breaking city lockup and returns from the day before at 11am. I've also yet to see management say anything to a driver about number of returns they are bringing back, they just give them nicknames instead.
