    Yet no one is speaking on the union getting a 36 billion dollar bail out that was deposited directly into pension fun....now why did they do that....where did the employee pensions go????? Not a word....they were burning through 10 million a day at Yellow....700 doesn't go far with those numbers

    • @riyalyn1365

      That’s a multi employer pension fund. Each company that pays into the pension fund still needs to pay into it to stay active in it. The bail out helped the pension fund to stay solvent. Because they were already at risk previously they were hesitant on allowing any company to take cuts. But ultimately after the union stepped in and begged the pension fund company to allow the yellow to take a deferral, the fund did ok a deferral to give yellow and the union time to negotiate. Which still didn’t help, company still shut down.

    Yellow spent 300 million on " rebranding" the company. Lol. They took 15% from my husband for over 10 years, didn't pay into his pension for the last year and he's not a teamster. Local 701, no one knew, until this week. 400k in the rears. The CEO and VP's got bomus but they took the workers money. 700 million three years ago from Covid relief ..shame on them. Yellow has been a horrible company for years and mismanagement and theft killed them. My husband good company got bought out by them unfortunately.

      yellow was never about quality..always quantity...Holland was next day carries ( LTL ) and was only allowed to work in 13 sates east of the Mississippi because of rules in the trucking industry. I worked for Holland for 31 years and I retried in 2018, our operating coats were always in the 80's meaning the lower that number was from 100.. the rest of that was profit...Yellow's operating cost was alway over 100 meaning the were spending more money ..not making money to move freight they picked up. They went to a foreign bank in 2009 to buy Holland because they had no credit left after buying RoadWay 2 years earlier. I topped out a 22.00 and hour being in Local 710. That was after getting a 15 percent wage reduction and Holland not paying into our pensions since Yellow screamed "POOR "in 2010 !!!! Holland could not make any 1/4 payments into the pension but was still making money the first few years that Yellow bought us. As of Jan 1 this year ..it all became a "YRC company" .. It only took Yellow 13 years to dry up all the money Holland , RoadWay and New Peen had before they bought them... Yellow never made money ...EVER !!!!

    100 year old company forced by the union to do business the same as it was decades ago. Companies have to be on the cutting edge of technology even if you are hauling freight in a truck. Union blocked all modernization items as a few would lose their jobs. Dozens of companies left the US for the same reason but trucking has to stay vs manufacturing. I remember getting a few Yellow loads and all I got was paper while everyone I already had details of my load coming in just like UPS or FedEx. LTL is just package except larger or you are out of business.

    • @improvisedsurvival5967
      @improvisedsurvival5967 10 місяців тому +2

      Wrong you can’t pickup and deliver at same time with freight as you can with packages. The freight is pallets and some are wider and some stops don’t have dock so they come get it off back of truck with lift. New Penn where I was didn’t do that we emptied the truck by 1 took lunch and them picked up freight. Went out with full truck of deliveries and came back full of pickups. They had a plan and everything was appointed. Then yellow bought the place and we hit the street at 10am cus inbound trucks were always late and had to be stripped and loaded on peddles. I was delivering till 4 pm and trying to pickup but if I got a big machine or something to pickup I’d spend 20 minutes at someone dock cus I had to back strip a third of the trailer so I could head load that machine cus I still had all those deliveries. And instead of doing my regular bidded run if the guy on the bid running town next me booked off that was added to my run throwing the time back missing appointments and early closings on my so I could do 4 stops that weren’t mine. They didn’t have any spares they could call to cover runs. Bottom line they don’t know how to run a freight operation. They would change the plan for your run at the last minute just cus another guy called out. Then they would say your brother fucked you. When that’s not the truth. I did packages for dhl for 12 years and ltl for 15 so I know exactly what I’m talking about. You can’t run freight like packages it’s not the same.

Like a full load of lawn more from Toro to all the Home Depots and Menards ... It has to come back to the terminal , the load gets broken down to separate deliveries on separate trucks.

    Amazing. Look into who would profit the most by yellow shutting down. The majority controlling share holders of yellow are the sames as this large competitor that stands to come out big with yellow closing.
    So they run yellow poorly but have them buy out several competitors eliminating a bunch of the competition and massively driving up their debt. Then you eventually run yellow into the ground and blame the union. The stock holders are only liable for their initial investment. Although they lost that initial investment in yellow they are set up to make a killing at their other business now that a big chunk of the competition is gone. Pluss now you can hire yellow experienced drivers on as new employees at new driver wages while telling all the employees and drivers see what happens if you go union.

    Business that cannot adapt and thrive in changing market environments must fail. Then new businesses take their place and do better. That is how capitalism works. Sure there is some pain, but that is why we have social security and programs to help people out.

    Yup, blame the unions as usual. The same old comments all the time. Pick a new song, that one is wore out.

    I’d go after them take all there money and personal assets and give to the employees let them know how it feels to be bankrupt! Especially knowing they took the money and running! I would have no sympathy for the owners!!! Prayers go out to all employees and family’s effected by this
