Transport Topics (April 14, 2021)

Darrel Harris was named president of Yellow Corporation yesterday, just six months after joining the Overland Park, Kan., less-than-truckload carrier as executive vice president of strategic initiatives. Harris has been tasked with not only instituting a companywide transformation to modernize the way freight is delivered, but also to expand and enhance the services available to Yellow’s 200,000 customers. He will assume some of the responsibilities of former CEO T.J. O’Connor, who recently announced his retirement, and former Chief Network Officer Scott Ware, who left the company. Yellow ranks No. 6 on the Transport Topics Top 100 list of the largest for-hire carriers in North America. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
