Selon la presse : (Le Lloyd) Le plus grand transporteur LTL au monde menacé de faillite YRC Worldwide , la plus grande entreprise de transport de groupage au monde et un des plus grands transporteurs routiers des Etats-Unis est au bord du précipice. La compagnie est menacée de faillite. En cause: la baisse des volumes. La chute du marché de la messagerie et du groupage (LTL, Less than Trailerload) a affecté le groupe, qui transporte près d'un quart des envois aux Etats-Unis, de telle manière qu'il risque un tarissement du cashflow. Si aucune mesure n'est prise, le groupe craint un dépôt du bilan au troisième trimestre. C'est pourquoi la compagnie a demandé un mia. d'USD d'aides financières aux pouvoirs publics. YRC Worldwide estime que ce qui est fait pour les banques et l'industrie automobile doit également pouvoir être fait pour le secteur du transport. YRC emploie près de 35.000 personnes.
