"We are dedicated to providing comprehensive transportation solutions, which means continual enhancement of our services and our networks," said Mike Smid, YRC Inc. president and chief operations officer of YRC Worldwide. "As we expand our cross-border services provided by YRC and YRC Reimer, reducing transit times is one more way we can offer better predictability and more-precise delivery options."
