YRC Worldwide Keeps Truckin' - Cramer's Lightning Round (6/18/08)

Joan, you are recomending YRCW? it's obvious that you do not
understand trucking or Bill Zollars

YRC Worldwide Inc. Q1 2008 Earnings Call Transcript

Boy! Did the YRCW boys innundate the anylists with snake oil or what!
Friday April 25, 2008 will be a day to remember. Atta boy Bill.

Up by $4.00 a share, incredible.

YRC Worldwide: A Compelling Short Idea

I agree with Teamster, except for one thing, the bread line might start at the back of the truck but if you are a Teamster all you are going to get is the crumbs.

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.

YRC Worldwide: A Compelling Short Idea

We are going down the toilet with Bill "Big Dollars Zollars", I have no idea why he is still at the helm, he must be part chinaman.

Wow! when are people ging to wake up.

Jim Cramer's Mad Money Lightning Round, 4/9/08: Ivan Jilts Cramer

YRCW- I agree with Metzinger, I don't want to be there either, it's in a tail spin for sure, YRCW has focused on China and have forgotten where they started, the sudden retirement of YRC transportation president Maynard Skarka and the take over by Mike Smid CEO of YRC North American Transportation is questionable at best, but that is Bill Zollars, (AKA "Big Dollars Zollars") right hand man, the question now is, can Mike Smid handle both positions, not likely, he will be too busy playing CEO.

YRC Worldwide Q4 2007 Earnings Call Transcript

As an average truck driver and employee of YRC even I could see that YRC was biting more than they could chew, and I did not need an MBA for that. Still I say that the only solution is to start cleaning house from the top: Bruffett, Zollars, Smid and Taylor, all of you were barking up the tree of incompetence instead of climbing up the tree of competence.

Please, gentlemen and lady, do the right thing for YRC and its thousand of stock holders and employees and RESIGN you have injured YRC and it is dying, reconstruction can not go on unless you are gone.

YRC Worldwide Proves the Skeptics Right

As a run of the mill truck driver out of Chicago and employee of YRC, the only solution I see at The Corporate Tower of YRC is to get rid of
Zollars and the rest of his cronies and start the recontruction of
this once great trucking company and the regionals that are spiraling down and out of control, there is no other way gentlemen, we need a new captain at the helm. Something I heard along the way in my 30 yrs in trucking, " Just because you know how to navigate it does not mean you can get us through the storm ".

Having said that, I hope the stock holders do not reward these incompetent knot heads with $$$$$$$$$ millions of dollars $$$$$$$$
in golden parachutes. Thank you and god bless us all.
