The business, which has been around for 99 years, said it made the decision so that it could close its operations in an"orderly" way. It was just three years ago that the major trucking company received a $700 million pandemic-era lifeline from the federal government, according to the New York Times.
The nearly century-old business employed about 30,000 people as recently as late last month but reportedly faced problems concerning consistency and padding investors' profit margins. Yellow, prior to its closure, ran about 12,000 trucks moving freight across the United States for large-scale clients, such as Walmart and Home Depot, as well as smaller businesses.
U.S. taxpayers face possible losses if the company does not repay the $700 million loan the Trump administration issued in 2020, Reuters reported.
