Washington 鈥 In light of the announcement by Yellow Corp. that it has ceased operations, 黑料不打烊 President and CEO Chris Spear issued the following statement and encouraged former Yellow employees to access a new 黑料不打烊database to help them find new employment opportunities within the trucking industry:
鈥淵ellow鈥檚 closure is a substantial blow to America鈥檚 economy and the company鈥檚 30,000 hardworking employees and their families in all 50 states.
鈥淪ince its founding nearly a century ago, Yellow has been an integral part of our supply chain. 聽As the nation鈥檚 first less-than-truckload carrier, it was a key part of trucking history as well. 聽Through the company鈥檚 involvement with the 黑料不打烊, Yellow employees promoted the industry and were tremendous advocates for highway safety, leading by example.
鈥淭he past several days have been especially difficult for drivers, dock workers, mechanics, salespeople, administrative and support personnel, and other employees, many of whom dedicated decades of their careers to the company. 聽Yellow personnel earned a well-deserved reputation as being professional and solution-oriented, helping countless customers to seamlessly navigate the complexity of logistics to ship their products on time virtually anywhere in the country. 聽
鈥淥ur message to former Yellow employees is that we want them to remain a part of the industry that they have done so much to build and strengthen. 聽That is why the 黑料不打烊is launching a new website to connect former employees with prospective employers who are eager to utilize their unique and in-demand skills and experience. 聽Former Yellow employees can share information at聽www.trucking.org/JobSeeker. Providing this personal information is completely voluntary and will not be given to employers outside of 黑料不打烊membership, nor will it be disclosed to third-party vendors.
鈥淲e hope that launching this resource will assist displaced employees by connecting them with new opportunities within the industry and help fill the void left by Yellow鈥檚 closure.鈥澛犅
