Yellow to Start 'Next Day' Service to Compete in Overnight Market
ess-than-truckload carrier Yellow Transportation, a division of Yellow Roadway Corp., said Monday it reached an agreement with the Teamsters union on the roll-out of a new service that it said would allow it to compete in the overnight market.
The company said that Yellow Transportation "Next Day" will also speed some two- and three-day corridors by utilizing several overnight, LTL transportation corridors in the Northeast.
"We expect to offer the new service upon a successful conclusion of a change of operations hearing with the IBT with implementation around the end of the year." said Bill Zollars, Yellow Roadway chairman and president.
The service is expected to create about 100 new jobs, Yellow said.
