OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Sept 03, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- YRC Inc., a subsidiary of YRC Worldwide Inc. (Nasdaq: YRCW), announced today additional enhancements to their suite of Expedited Precision services. New Fastest Ground service options make it easier and less time consuming for customers to expedite time-sensitive shipments by eliminating the need to supply delivery dates every time expedited shipping is required.
With the new enhancements, customers can now simply write "YRC Time-Critical Fastest Ground" or "YRC Time-Advantage Fastest Ground" on their standard bill of lading, check the appropriate box on a quote-free bill of lading sticker (available from their local YRC account executive) or select Fastest Ground on the my.yrc.com Online Bill of Lading and their shipment automatically moves at the fastest in-network YRC transit speed.
"As customers look for ways to reduce costs and meet the increasingly stringent demands of today's supply chains, we continue to simplify the purchasing process," said John Garcia, executive vice president and chief sales officer for YRC Worldwide. "Our Expedited Precision solutions provide customers with the flexibility to migrate their costly domestic air or dedicated expeditor shipments to a more economical transportation solution, and reduce the amount of time they spend doing it."
The YRC Expedited Precision solutions include:
-- YRC Time-Critical(TM) service featuring expedited delivery before noon,
before 5 p.m., or as precise as a one-hour window along with dedicated
equipment service options. The service is backed by a 100 percent
customer satisfaction guarantee with proactive notification managed by a
dedicated YRC customer support team.
-- YRC Time-Advantage(TM) service featuring expedited a.m., p.m. and
deferred delivery with a high level of reliability, but without a
guarantee for a cost-effective alternative.
As part of its Time-Critical and Time-Advantage service offerings, YRC also provides a Weekend Advantage solution. An economical alternative to traditional air forwarding or dedicated carrier services for shippers that utilize those modes. Weekend Advantage allows customers to expedite shipments over the weekend (Friday to Monday or Thursday to Monday) with ground service that reaches extensively throughout the United States.
Both YRC Time-Critical and YRC Time-Advantage services also provide flexible air and ground transportation options to meet any critical shipment need. All YRC expedited services can be easily viewed, quoted and booked online at my.yrc.com.
