Huge step forward in integration
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009On March 1, YRC took a huge step forward in the integration of the Yellow and Roadway Express networks, services and capabilities. We’re now YRC and delivering your shipments in the most comprehensive network in North America at the service levels you expect with a network built to support efficient flexible solutions.
This past weekend we resolved the remaining transitional issues, and our distribution network is in excellent condition and running at current status. Shipments are flowing smoothly and are being processed at or near arrival time.
The entire YRC network is consistently providing reliable service. Last week we made tremendous improvements in shipment flow to our delivery service centers. Our “missed pickup” percentage was near zero.
The new YRC network is closer to you with additional service centers, and our new pickup and delivery areas provide better, more concentrated coverage. Tighter areas allow for earlier completion and a quicker return to the service center for outbound processing, resulting in more reliable regional and long-haul service.
In addition, beginning Monday, March 2, all shipments picked up have been billed on YRC PRO numbers and are easily visible as they move throughout the network.
