According to the Journal, Yellow YELL alerted employees and customers Sunday that it would cease all operations by midday. The move does not come as a big surprise — Yellow has seen customers flee in recent years and a bankruptcy filing has been widely expected, with liquidation likely to follow.According to the Journal, Yellow YELL alerted employees and customers Sunday that it would cease all operations by midday.
Yellow and the Teamsters last week were able to avert a strike. In June, management sued the union, claiming it was unnecessarily blocking restructuring plans, a charge the union denied while blaming poor management. In 2020, Yellow received a $700 million loan from the government to stay afloat during the pandemic, but has repaid only about $230 million, government documents show. Overall, the company reportedly has about $1.5 billion in debt.
According to the Journal, Yellow’s closure should not cause many disruptions for customers, as most shifted their cargo shipment to rival companies in recent weeks.
