YRC Freight reviews

There is no advancement here and the retirement fund is not guaranteed. This company is going broke and the moral of the employees is broken. The union takes their dues out but do nothing to help improve your working conditions. The equipment all the way from the forklifts to the tractor trailers are outdated and broken. They do not want to buy new equipment. The tractors break down very often. They put you up in dirty motels. I had enough. Apply at your own risk.

Long hours with 12 hour shifts can easily be 13 hours if you had a difficult shift. The stacking supervisor is at the mercy of the stripping supervisor and if they don't like you they can hold your freight and have it sent down to you at one time making your day a living hell. Most of the supervisors are young and the fun thing is making another supervisor on the stack side have a bad day and laugh about it later. It is a high stressed atmosphere and dangerous if you are not used to working around heavy equipment its easy to get hurt. The docks are cold in the winter, and hot in the summer and you are outside all of the time. The fumes from the trucks and jeeps are strong, and the noise level is high. Promotions are based on favoritism and demotions are possible as well. You can get off the dock and into the office, and find yourself back on the dock again. There is a lot of room for improvement here.
