DARREN HAWKINS, CEO of Yellow Corp., which controls about 10% of the nearly $50 billion LTL market, said he is "very pleased" with his company's transformation from a national carrier, with three separate regional trucking companies and a logistics arm, into a unified "super-regional" carrier with integrated services across the country."It's important for LTLs to expand service products," Hawkins told LM. "We've been competing very strongly in regional markets, but we've been listening to customers. The result is our super-regional offering with a national footprint and great regional service.We want to grow profitably-slowly and well-paced. Freight is moving through the network at fair prices, and growth will come as we add drivers and complete our transformation."Hawkins believes that the 93-year-old Yellow will re-establish itself as one of the elite carriers in the country. Yellow got into financial difficulty following its $1 billion purchase of Roadway Express in a merger of giants in 2003 under then-CEO William Zollars. |
