Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
YRC Worldwide Inc. (the “Company”) is providing the following additional information regarding its July 2006 less-than-truckload (“LTL”) tonnage trends for its Yellow Transportation and Roadway subsidiaries. All data is stated as of the close of business on July 27, 2006. Roadway’s month-to-date July LTL tonnage when compared with the same period in 2005 is slightly above the 2005 July period, and Yellow Transportation’s month-to-date July LTL tonnage when compared to the same period in 2005 is slightly below the 2005 period. These tonnage trends are consistent with the Company’s expectations for July and the third quarter of 2006 as Yellow Transportation continues to work through customer mix issues. The Company continues to expect that both its Yellow Transportation and Roadway subsidiaries will have low single digit LTL tonnage growth for the 2006 year, when compared to 2005.
This Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words “expect” and “will” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements regarding tonnage growth. It is important to note that the company’s actual future results regarding tonnage and tonnage growth could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements because of a number of factors, including (without limitation), economic activity, inflation, inclement weather, decisions on business mix, impact of changes of operations, price and availability of fuel, competitor pricing activity, effects of a terrorist attack, and labor relations.
