What don't you like about working at YRC Worldwide?

"There is no sense of direction. In otherwords expectations for Time Critical Dispatch for Over-the-road freight was absolutely UNREALISTIC. Freight was still arriving well after 10:00pm that was destined to go out that very same night and management expected outbound operations to be completed earliest 10:00pm latest 12:00pm.There was no respect for anyone. This came from the top brass and trickled down the ladder.Lastly, I have never encountered a Terminal Manager who insisted you attend events out-of state especially when gas prices where going through the roof. He never organized anything in the Chicago area because he lived in Indiana. Down right shame."

"Cut-off time for P&D to be completed by 6:00pm. I still see Roadway trucks out there making pick-ups well after 8:00pm.Get your Fast-Track Program organized. You have failed miserably on this training program for 4 years straight."
