Enhances predictability and reliability of customer supply chains

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- YRC Inc., a subsidiary of YRC Worldwide Inc. (Nasdaq: YRCW), announced today enhancements to its innovative Preferred Pricing Program, established to provide customers with simple, predictable and highly reliable solutions. Effective Oct. 1, 2009, Preferred Pricing shipments can easily be guaranteed to insure the highest reliability at no additional charge.

Although it is available to any customer, Preferred Pricing is designed to help small- to mid-sized companies looking for a competitive and easy-to-understand pricing program.

"We are committed to providing our customers with flexible, reliable solutions that are also easy to engage. In response to customer need, our Preferred Pricing program offers a simplified pricing option that removes much of the complexity inherent in normal LTL pricing tariffs," said John Garcia, executive vice president and chief sales officer - YRC Worldwide. "This program helps improve our customers' transportation cost planning because it is simple and predictable."

Highlights of the program include:

• Reliable service backed by a money back guarantee
• No special surcharges or exclusions for non-direct points
• Exclusive fuel surcharge program that insulates shippers from rising fuel prices until the National Diesel Price Index reaches $4.00 per gallon
• Many common accessorial services at no additional cost
• Market competitive rates in all lanes across the YRC network, the most comprehensive in North America
  

Preferred Pricing was piloted to YRC customers (formerly Yellow Transportation and Roadway) in 2008. Based on that initial acceptance and success, YRC made the decision to offer the program widely so that more companies could take full advantage of the program benefits and now provides a full service guarantee.
