Armstrong & Associates’ Evaluation:

Yellow Roadway’s acquisition of USF Corp. added USF Logistics to YRC Logistics and more than doubled its size. It also added a large retail distribution network with 16 regional centers, a large dedicated contract carriage operation, the i2 technology platform and solid, big-box value-added distribution. YRC Logistics, which started as a dotcom, has grown quickly to become a leading transportation management and cross-dock 3PL. In addition, it recently purchased a Hong Kong–based 3PL to add to its Asian capabilities and has some European presence. The new combination provides solid operations in the major logistics areas and good IT coverage.
