YRC Maybrook is starving me

Bucky, hang in there. All the big LTL companies are the same with seniority union or non-union, and it will get better with time and patience. Every one of us has had to play the game in the beginning. You can and will make better money, just keep your head down and do your job. Don't get caught up in the parking lot complaint crew and things will improve. Good luck to you.

 

All LTLs are the same just different logos. I don't agree with the hog board at all. Seniority means you can choose your runs for bids and choose your vacation times.

YRC is also the easiest company to work for. These other ltls will slave you into the ground. And your about to hit your raise so you'll be making 56 CPM and 22.36(I believe) for hourly work.

I'm at 17.10 a hour and 44cPm

 

This is my second winter at Reddaway and I'm not laid off this year but it's been a little tight. My yard is not union but we do things the union way as do most ltl companies.

 

January you worked 24 days out of 31, 7 days off, usual 2 days per week and 4 weeks in a month should equal to 8 days off. I think you are doing pretty good.

February, this is only the 9th day and you have already worked 6. There have only been 5 business days so far in this month. You should find something else to worry about.

 

So first you complain that they are starving you then you say you have no real intention of leaving?

 

Where to? And for what reason?

My point is, do your homework before you jump again and again.

And your next employer doesn't need to hear that you didnt get enough pay at YRC.... all websites say something that's technically true but it's up to you to figure out if it's realistic for you to earn that pay.
