Overland Park, Kan., May 30, 2008 – Yellow Transportation, a subsidiary of YRC Worldwide Inc. (Nasdaq: YRCW), announces the launch of its enhanced Definite Delivery® Window service to better serve customers.

The Yellow Transportation Definite Delivery® Window will help both retailers and vendors work together more efficiently and provide greater accuracy within their supply chain.

We listen to them and then work to improve services that enhance the customer experience.”

The upgraded service will allow vendors the flexibility to define the level of delivery precision.
