YRC Worldwide has a comprehensive network in North America with local, regional, national and international capabilities. YRC Worldwide offers supply chain solutions for heavyweight shipments and serves customers who ship industrial, commercial and retail goods. The company is headquartered in Overland Park, Kansas. The company traces its history back to 1924 when A.J. Harrell of Oklahoma City founded the Yellow Cab and Transit Company, a bus and taxi company... that served central Oklahoma. The company remained small until 1952, when an ownership group led by George E. Powell Sr. bought the company. During this time, Yellow helped pioneer the concept of consolidating small freight shipments into trailer loads. In 1968, the company name was changed from Yellow Transit Freight Lines to Yellow Freight System Inc. During the deregulation of interstate trucking in the 1980s, Yellow Freight System embarked on a massive restructuring by creating new distribution centers across the country to better serve customers.
