The company had made a number of questionable business decisions over the years. The biggest one in recent memory was the 2003 acquisition of rival Roadway -- which resulted in the creation of the combined YRC Worldwide company.
At the time of the acqusition, Yellow was actually smaller than Roadway. I seem to remember that the merged YRC was constantly in the business/economy news from 2008 onward -- mainly in stories about financial troubles, pending bankruptcy, etc. I believe Yellow and Roadway were two of the last trucking companies staffed by the Teamsters (UPS is another). That may have played a major role in all the business decisions the company made since the early 2000s.

Probably!
Yet, these dolts are laying off the NON-union thousands, including sales!, first.
You cannot fix this kind of stupid.
