• Since bordom has consumed most of my life I thought I would tell you folks a little about my job.
  
  At left we see the company logos for Roadway and Yellow. The two merged in '05 I belive to form what is now known as YRC Worldwide. According to what I have been told the company went straight to hell shortly after this union.I work for the Roadway part of the company here in Tardville also known as 457.Teamster Local 891.This picture was taken at the Sparks NV terminal. Notice the well constructed warehouse and smooth paved parking lot. Alas this is not the case at 457.
• 
  Here is a more accurate picture to describe the conditions at the 457 minus the water frontage. Replace the water with pot hole riddled pavement and make sure to invision at least 3 dump truck loads of trash thrown everywhere. Welcome to Roadway.

• At the 457 I work on the dock as what the company likes to refer to as a "Professional Freight Handler". The more appropriate term for this would be dockhand. Not to belittle anyone who does this work but a retarded monkey on crack could do this job. Dont get me wrong I love it but lets not blow our own horns here and make it more complex than it should be. At right you will notice the saftey sign. We have these all over the dock here.
  
  
• As we see the signs dont seem to help much. While this paticular image was not taken at 457 similar things can,will ,and have happened. We make OSHA proud.
  
  
  
  
  

As the supervisors like to preach constantly..."Pack it high Pack it tight". I was unable to get any pictures of the daily grind to show yall but it would make everyone proud. High and tight is the way to go and we do whatever it takes to make sure this happens. Break it, beat it, push it, tear it, force it and as one veteran of 19 years told me one day "Go get me the duct tape and a crow bar...Goddamnit we will make it fit".So as you can see we truly do care about our customers and we take pride in making sure we do the job right. Roadway. Your Way. More to follow...........
