Dear Shareholder,
We begin the next 75 years of our history with Yellow Corporation growing and thriving. As a company, we have transformed ourselves from an internally oriented organization to a market-driven team sharply focused on the customer.
We move our customers’ products on trucks, trains, ships and planes using an ever-expanding portfolio of transportation services. These services provide the most flexible, responsive and precise transportation solutions available anywhere. It is increasingly true that strong customer relationships depend on the ability to say “yes we can,” whatever the need.
In 1999, We:
• Introduced new value-added services and improved service quality at each of our companies.
• Saw an astounding number of customer interactions move to our website --approaching 11 million hits per month by year-end.
• Moved forward with several Internet and e-commerce-related business ventures that hold great promise.
• Acquired Jevic Transportation, giving our regional group critical mass and creating a number of options to unlock shareholder value, which we are exploring.
• Demonstrated our management depth by delivering improved results during leadership transitions at WestEx, Saia and Yellow Corporation.
