How does it work? Simple.

Login to the secure my.yrc.com, and obtain your specific rates by clicking on “Your Tools” and then selecting “Rate Quote.”

We’ll use your LTL base pricing as a starting point, and determine the quote based on the level of precision and speed needed. You’ll just need to provide basic information on the shipment and click “Request Quote.” Rates provided will include standard, guaranteed and several expedited options.

In addition to simplifying the expedited pricing process, we’ve added features to the rate quote tool, rate quote file folder and pickup tools to make transportation management more efficient. New options include the addition of CTN (carton) as a piece-type selection on the rate quote tool; new filter and sort capabilities for rate quote file folder inquiries; and the ability to search quotes by service type for booked quotes.

It is widely recognised that most of the worlds air cargo is carried in the bellies of passenger aircraft on scheduled services. Boeing calculates that 70% of cargo is flown in passenger aircraft while the remaining 30% is carried by all cargo aircraft.

It is known that a significant proportion of air freight is trucked from the regions into the gateway airports both by forwarders moving freight to their consolidation hubs and by airlines as a direct substitute for flying out of a regional airport.  In the case of the main European carriers, it is common for freight to be trucked directly to their main hub on the Continent where it would then be loaded for onward movement on one of their long haul flights. The reverse will happen for imports into the UK. In the same fashion, British Airways will truck cargo inwards from the Continent to help fill its long haul flights from Heathrow.

Vic Terranella, president of Local 41 in Kansas City, was working at Roadway 23 years ago when Sanders walked onto the docks.

“When Jeanette came on, being a woman in a predominately male environment, there was a concern that she wouldn’t be able to pull her weight,” says Terranella. “She immediately proved that she could and she would. She earned respect from the guys real quickly. She proved the people who had doubts wrong.”

Last Friday, she proved her staying power. Sanders became the first woman dockworker for an LTL company to reach retirement as a member of Local 41.

Frank Zitnik, YRC regional service center manager in Kansas City, says Sanders’ longevity in this physically demanding profession stemmed from a day-to-day focus that delivered confidence.

“Jeanette was steady, consistent and dependable,” Zitnik says. “You knew you could count on her.”

Sanders says she was began the job well aware of the challenges and determined to succeed.

Inbound Logistics created the list this year to recognize companies that are green innovators, and to provide an example to other shippers. They picked companies based on their ability to create value in the supply chain through sustainability and efficiency.

YRC Worldwide made a strong commitment to sustainability through a strategy of emission reduction and fuel efficiency that allows us to protect the environment while optimizing our resources. Several initiatives are under way that make our strategy a reality. Get a freight shipping quote.

Dubbed “Team Shae” in honor of the late Shae Pierce, grandson of YRC Worldwide retiree John Bloom, the group consisted of current YRCW employees and families, YRCW customers and Pierce family supporters. The group was led by YRCW President and Chief Operating Officer Tim Wicks, who was in town to meet with a group of Memphis area customers. Being an avid runner, Wicks appreciated the opportunity to stay on and participate in the race.

“Every day, in big and small ways, the employees of YRC Worldwide demonstrate a remarkable spirit and truly genuine concern for people,” said Wicks. “While the first order of our business currently is “the business,’ Saturday’s charity race and efforts like it underscore the role that we play in our communities as well.”

Team Shae was organized by Judy Little, corporate account executive–Yellow Trucking. The Memphis Grizzlies House 5K was one of four races that day supporting the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Collectively, Team Shae has raised more than $4,515 and donations continue to come in. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has raised more than $1,652,000 as a result of Marathon Weekend efforts.

“I’m so proud of our team and the fact that, together, we really can make a difference in the lives around us,” said Little. “Shae’s family is so appreciative of the support our YRC Worldwide team has shown in memory of their son and children everywhere dealing with pediatric cancer.” In 2000, Shae was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (a rare bone marrow cancer). He received a bone marrow transplant in early 2001, but developed complications a few months later and passed away on March 20, 2001 at age 4.

In exchange, note holders will receive shares in YRC Worldwide representing around 95% of the equity in our company. The offer does dilute current shareholder value–including the value for our employee-owners. However, removing the debt and improving liquidity opens the door for growth in value as we complete our financial turnaround and focus squarely on the future.

Diluting the value of current shares also leads to understandable fluctuations in our stock price. It’s important to remember that the stock price is not an indicator of our liquidity or our ability to serve you.

In addition, the SEC filing states that if we are unable to complete the exchange offers and address our near term liquidity needs as a result of ongoing discussions with our lenders, the Teamsters and the multi-employer pension funds that provide retirement benefits to our union employees, we would then expect to seek relief under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Keep in mind: That wording fulfills our obligation to disclose risks to our investors. We have confidence that our note holders understand the value of our company and will exchange their notes. Action in the bond markets supports our confidence: The trading value of these bonds increased after we announced our intention to launch the offer.

While our note exchange offer is open, there will be noise in the marketplace and ratings changes. Based on industry history, we went into this expecting temporary credit rating downgrades during the offer period. That action is typical and doesn’t impact our ability to continue providing uninterrupted, unparalleled service. It is basically a ratings formality - one that we expect to be followed by another ratings review once the exchange offer is successfully concluded.

YRC Worldwide Inc., a Fortune 500 company and one of the largest transportation service providers in the world, is the holding company for a portfolio of successful brands including YRC, YRC Reimer, YRC Logistics, New Penn, Holland, Reddaway and YRC Glen Moore. Building on the strength of its heritage brands, Yellow Transportation and Roadway, the enterprise provides global transportation services, transportation management solutions and logistics management. The portfolio of brands represents a comprehensive array of services for the shipment of industrial, commercial and retail goods domestically and internationally.

Knowing that, we used the integration of our information networks and web sites as an opportunity to take good applications and make them even better. Our two YRC sites–yrc.com and my.yrc.com–feature post-integration enhancements designed to simplify your success.

For example, we’ve replaced the routing tool on yrc.com with a popular new Routing/Service Calculator. With this tool, customers simply enter the origin and destination ZIP codes for a shipment, and quickly receive information on transit days. With our Confidence Delivered^TM approach in mind, we’ve made this calculator available to all customers–not just those shipping to large retailers.

If your business does involve retail shipments, it makes sense to take a moment and register for our password-protected site, my.yrc.com. On this site, the Service Day Calculator includes “Must Arrive By Date” and Window options–features that are a huge advantage when shipping to retailers and others with tight delivery timeframes.

Registered users on my.yrc.com are also enjoying the improvements to the Bill of Lading application, notably with the new Address Book. This application streamlines data entry, making it easy for customers to keep their own address book online –adding, modifying and deleting entries as needed. The ability to save this information makes future transactions faster.
