YRC Worldwide CFO to Retire

Trucking company YRC Worldwide Inc. said on Monday its chief financial officer would retire and be replaced by a marketing and sales executive who helped YRC enter the Chinese trucking market.

Stephen Bruffett, 43, currently senior vice president of sales and marketing for YRC National Transportation, will replace Don Barger, 64, who is to retire as executive vice president and CFO on Sept. 1. Barger will assist in the transition as an advisor.

Bruffett joined the company in 1998; Barger had been CFO for six years.

Bill Zollars, YRC's chairman, president and chief executive, said Bruffett has been "instrumental" in developing the company's strategy in China.
