Reliable Shipping on a Stronger Network

You won't "see" the most recent changes in the YRC Freight network – but we're confident you'll notice the difference. Working together with our union professionals, we've implemented network changes that allow us to reliably deliver consistent, high-quality, long-haul service.

"The changes we're making in the network are focused on our long-haul lanes and allow us to reduce the number of times a customer's shipment is handled," says Mitch Lilly, senior vice president of operations for YRC Freight. "Our customers want to feel confident that when we say we'll deliver their shipment in three days, we deliver it in three days. Safe and on time – that's our goal with every shipment. The network changes help us deliver on that promise."

Lilly says the changes will be seamless to customers. No terminals are closing and YRC Freight will continue to handle next-day shipments. The network changes simply allow YRC Freight to further focus on what we do best: long-haul shipments between 500 and 3,500 miles.

"This is a logical part of our overall growth strategy," says Lilly. "We are the original LTL experts and we understand that LTL shippers need to build additional flexibility and reliability into their supply chains. With the network enhancements, YRC Freight provides comprehensive service throughout North America more reliably than ever."
