We now operate in over 70 countries around the world and our services have expanded to encompass logistics as well as global, national and regional transportation,” said Bill Zollars, chairman, president and CEO of YRC Worldwide.
“Our new name, YRC Worldwide, better reflects the reality of what our enterprise is today. Our aspirations for the future remain consistent with our core purpose: Making global commerce work by connecting people, places and information.”
Companies included under the YRC Worldwide umbrella include: Yellow Transportation; Roadway Express; Reimer Express; USF Holland; USF Reddaway; USF Bestway; USF Glen Moore; New Penn Motor Express; and Meridian IQ.
