Trucking giant YRC is not in play

CEO denies rumors of takeover


After rumors swirled last week that LTL trucking firm YRC Worldwide may be the target of a takeover bid, the company’s CEO William Zollars is denying the reports.

"We certainly don't have anything going on," Bill Zollars, CEO of the Overland Park, Kansas-based company that combined both Yellow and Roadway told Reuters in a telephone interview.

"I really was not responding to anything specific," Zollars said, referring to a BusinessWeek interview that began the rumor mills churning.

Zollars also revealed earlier this month that YRC is “in the process of establishing a ground network in China” in a report by the Kansas City Star.
