To even suggest that prices have gone down in this economy,
SUGGESTS to me that you have lost all touch with reality.

I would like to address MIKEEEEE at this time.
Now MIKEEEEE, I did spell your name right didn't I, that's with five E's right?.

OK, lets do the math, if you have been driving, like you say for 45 years, that means you were born smewhere around 1940 or maybe 1942, so that puts your age between 66 or 68, which to me that means you are now a worthless YRCW employee, in other words excess baggage to your company.

If you are so loyal to YRCW why did you not retire and make room for a younger Teamster that probably needs a job, you know why?, because hangers on like you are greedy and pretend to have this false loyalty to a company that sooner or later is going to give you a well deserved screwing. Ok, that's number one.

Number two, Competitors will always try to, as you say, destroy the
competition, it's the nature of the beast.

Number three, the author of the article you are reffering to probably does sit in an office and probably behind a desk because, in case you did not know, thats the best way to do office work, like when you are driving you do have to be sitting down right?, unless you are napping on overtime.

He may not know about " lane density", "claims ratio", "trailer pool"
or "system balance", oh by the way, have you been kissing up to
a Operations Manager? you learned some mighty big words fella.
But one thing Simms knows is money and bottom lines and every thing else that has to do with money that you know nothing about.

"Survival Mode", that is one thing YOU better start thinking about,
because if you ever retire you are going to be in big trouble when YRCW goes bankrupt and they don't have any money for the pension liability, don't count on the Teamsters to help you or the goverment for that matter. So there you go MIKEEEEE, here is where the well reserved screwing comes in.

Number four, the way to tell a carriers strength its by its top management, or in Bill "Big Dollars" Zollars case damagement, and
of course did you forget about the O/R; Operating Ratio, I did not see that phrase any where in your comment, maybe you were kissing up to the wrong Operations Manager. Listen since when have you been checking brake linings?, I thought you were a big time driver, you might be in the wrong Union Pal.

Number five, again Simms has more information at his finger tips then you have in your whole brain, and with that information he was able to CULL that figure for the pension liability, OK?.

Number six, that's what I am worried about the Teamsters handling my MONEY, samarten up DUDE.

As for you MIKEEEEE, did I spell that right?, projecting your pension,
your health care and Social Security at about $65,000 per year idicates to me that you have been sniffing diesel fumes all of your forty five years of driving. And for you to even mention that you will keep on working and make $ 100,000 per year even if the economy is still in the toilet and after your retirement from driving, only proves that you have gotten senile. I suggest that you start looking for a HOME!.

Number seven, of course almost everything we come in contact with on a daily basis is handled by an LTL carriers, but in case you have not noticed, there are also non union carriers that do the job for less, hey !! did I catch you off guard. YRCW might be the biggest but not the best, I'm sorry to say.

Number eight, as far as the Chinese operation ia concerned, that's
Bill" Big Dollars" Zollars baby and that is one of the major reasons we are in the situation we are in.

Oh, one more thing, check ABF's numbers they are always up, see MIKEEEEE With five E"S, thats were good management comes in,
so with good management, the O/R that we were talking about before kicks in, OK?, NOW, PUT THAT IN YOUR SMOKE STACK MIKEEEEE THE LOYAL EMPLOYEE.

I also work for YRCW, and our Oerating Ratio right now, if I'm not mistaking is about 102 maybe 104, if you understand what that means, it means dismal. ]]> Thu, 24 Apr 2008 14:02:03 -0400

The big Wall Street companies like Yellow Roadway Corporation
Worldwide, UPS and UPS Freight, FedX and their freight division, Old Domonion, Conway and lets not forget J.B. Hunt and Schneider, all of these companies and then some are positioning themselves to get rid of the OWNER OPERATOR by offering giant discounts, fuel surcharges that the independent can not afford to give.

The Teamster International has forced and is forcing it's own brothers to accept concessions to give a financial advantage to the giant Union companies such as YRCW,ABF, UPS and UPS Freight which wiil eventually be the fall of the OWNER OPERATOR.

I respect the neccesary action that you will take on April 1, 2008, the first day that the Teamster contract will go in effect for some of our brothers that were put under the provervial gun to accept it, and a message to my Chicago Teamster brothers hang tight and this coming Sunday March 30, 2008 I urge you to send the companies involved in these negociations and the Teamster International a resounding message that says HELL NO WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE.

And having said that Trucker Dan, I wish you and your movement The National Trucker Shutdown good luck and God bless you.
