      I worked at YRC Freight full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Salary is decent, raise every 6 months for the first 18 months. Due to having high turnover your job is never in jeopardy.

      Cons

      12 hour shifts that rotate very frequently, high turnover for both dock men and supervisors, dealing with the elements so extremely cold in the winter and extremely hot during the summers, always working more days than contracted to, lack of leadership, most importantly lack of trailers for a trucking company. Use this company as a stepping stool and nothing more

      I have been working at YRC Freight full-time for more than 8 years

      Pros

      YRC freight has the best health insurance. YRC is a union carrier with union benefits.

      Cons

      Pay per hour on paper is not as high as other LTL carriers. You factor in the insurance which is no cost to you, your average is about $32 an hour

      Advice to Management

      Talk to my Union rep! No problems with management at all.

        No opinion of CEO

        I worked at YRC Freight part-time for less than a year

        Pros

        There were no pros for me.

        Cons

        I was sold a dream that if I worked hard & did well, I would be hired on full time within a month. Then I was discriminated against & kept on as a casual driver, being treated like a door matt & used as a floater or given the crappy runs that senior drivers didn’t want. Very poorly managed & their equipment is extremely raggedy & unsafe. Now I know why companies hate Unions. It breeds laziness, kills productivity, & ruins...

        Show More

        Advice to Management

        Hold ALL drivers accountable. Don’t allow union members & senior drivers to use their “seniority” to mismanage the daily workload. Put some checks & balances in place to ensure that casual drivers are hired on based on their actual performance & not a buddy system.
