YRC Regional Transportation, a subsidiary of YRC Worldwide, announced Monday, Jan. 8, the consolidation of USF Bestway and USF Reddaway and the geographic expansion of USF Holland. Although the transition begins immediately, customers will experience no initial changes to their service, according to the company; over time, these operational changes are intended to benefit customers through improved services and scope of coverage.

To assure a smooth transition, the companies say they will communicate specifics to customers as they implement these enhancements. Highlights of the forthcoming changes are as follows:

“The consolidation of the USF Bestway and USF Reddaway brands creates a more streamlined organization, a stronger regional network and a very formidable western service provider,” says Jim Staley, president and CEO of YRC Regional Transportation. “That translates into more service options for our customers and a simpler customer service experience. Additionally, the expansion of USF Holland deeper into the Midwest and the South provides our customers access to one of the most reliable and extensive next-day and regional delivery networks in the industry.”

“The YRC Regional Transportation group now has four strong companies with substantial brand equity,” says Bill Zollars, chairman, president and CEO of YRC Worldwide. “The expansion of USF Holland and USF Reddaway into these new regional markets will enhance growth prospects for the corporation and add to shareholder value.”
