      Pros

      Great group of guys to work with. Spoiled lazy but good as gold.

      Cons

      To many old timers longing for the golden years of the union. If you want up to $10 more an hour like the rest of the ltl industry drop the union pay $50 a week for insurance and take a match on 401k. Have you seen old dominion pay, stock price and cost of operations lately?

      Pros

      I found the Manager, Anna to be awesome. She was great at multi-tasking and firm but fair. I found her to be down-to-earth and easy to talk to. The one thing that stood out to me in the short-time I worked at YRC was that Anna didn't hesitate to jump in to help solve freight issues. That says a lot to me about a manager that doesn't just stand back and 'direct' but jumps in to help solve issues. On-call hourly wage are good for the Tracy area. However, after hired as permanent employee, hourly wage drops. Exciting fast pace work. Overall the co-workers were nice.

      Cons

      For me the biggest con, as a new hire on-call employee, was when I was told after 30 days of working I had to join the union and pay $650.00. Joining the union was not the con BUT $650.00 out of pocket.....that's a lot of money to come out of pocket after 30 days. Another con for me was the time for training, I was getting only three days training. The work itself was exciting and interesting but overwhelming. I was told on graveyard shift only one person worked and it's the busiest shift, three days in not sufficient. For some this could be a con or pro: you will have to work graveyard shifts.

      Pros

      Great Teamster work rules thru Master Freight Agreement. Long Standing Company.

      Cons

      Unfortunately during the last big recession this company hit the company's employees hard with insurance, pension and wage reductions that they are still digging out from.
