Yellow Roadway Corporation Raises Second Quarter 2004 EPS Guidance

OVERLAND PARK, KAN. — Yellow Roadway Corporation (NASDAQ: YELL) today increased its outlook for second quarter 2004 earnings per share to $.85 - $.90. Previously, the company provided earnings guidance of $.70 - $.75 per share for the second quarter.

“All our business units continue to perform very well,” said Bill Zollars, Chairman, President and CEO of Yellow Roadway. “The improvement in our second quarter earnings outlook is being driven by excellent execution along with favorable economic conditions.”

Yellow Roadway will update full year 2004 earnings guidance on July 22, when second quarter 2004 financial results will be released after the market close. A conference call to discuss second quarter results will be held at 9:30 a.m. ET on Friday, July 23. Conference call details will be provided in mid-July.

This news release (and oral statements made regarding the subjects of this release) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The words “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “outlook,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. It is important to note that the company’s actual future results could differ materially from those projected in such forward-looking statements because of a number of factors, including (without limitation), labor relations, inclement weather, price and availability of fuel, competitor pricing activity, expense volatility, ability to capture cost synergies, and a downturn in general or regional economic activity.
