Overland Park, Kan., March 26, 2008 – Yellow Transportation, a subsidiary of YRC Worldwide Inc. (Nasdaq: YRCW), in cooperation with YRC Logistics Global is offering expedited ocean service for guaranteed, on-time delivery of less-than-container-load shipments moving from China to the United States.
The expedited ocean service from Yellow Transportation provides customers with flexibility on shipment dates, allows them to track shipments from foreign port to final U.S. destination, and cuts days in transit. The service is designed to help customers more effectively meet their clients’ global supply chain needs.
“Expedited ocean is the inventive solution for customers who need delivery faster than standard ocean service, but don’t require the speed of air transit,” says Maynard Skarka, President of Yellow Transportation. “By building on our proven expertise in expedited deliveries, Yellow Transportation helps customers realize faster inventory turns, and a reduced cash-to-cash cycle. In today’s global marketplace, that’s a tremendous competitive advantage.”
* The Yellow Transportation expedited ocean service is part of the company’s comprehensive solutions portfolio, and is provided in conjunction with YRC Logistics Global, an NVOCC-licensed affiliate.
