Yellow Corporation Bringing New Jobs to Kansas City, Missouri & America
May 04 2021 - 10:00AM
Yellow Corporation (NASDAQ: YELL) is recruiting employees for new
positions in Kansas City, Missouri. On Thursday, May 6, and Friday,
May 7, Yellow will host two hiring events as the trucking company
looks to fill jobs including dock workers, local drivers and
linehaul drivers. Yellow intends to hire qualified individuals
immediately for over 20 jobs in Kansas City with more positions
open nationwide.
Yellow is the second largest less-than-truckload carrier and the
fifth largest transportation company in North America. Yellow’s
30,000 employees are based in all 50 states as well as Puerto Rico,
Canada and Mexico.
Yellow’s Kansas City hiring events are among more than two dozen
similar recruiting events taking place across America between now
and July. By the end of 2021, Yellow aims to hire thousands of new
employees nationwide with at least 1,500 of those positions
earmarked for commercial drivers.
“Seventy percent of America’s freight moves on our nation’s
highways, so it’s essential that the industry continue to ramp up
hiring to keep the U.S. supply chain humming along,” said Darren
Hawkins, Chief Executive Officer of Yellow.
“Yellow pays very competitive wages and offers outstanding
healthcare benefits for employees,” said Mr. Hawkins. “For those
with trucking experience or not, or folks looking for a new
opportunity or needing to make a job change due to pandemic
fallout, it’s an exciting time to build a career and a future at
Yellow.”
In addition to the May 6 and May 7 recruiting days, Yellow
continues to regularly sponsor its Kansas City Driver Academy,
which provides classroom and road training for those interested in
careers as commercial drivers.
“Hiring is our number one priority,” said Hawkins. “Our freight
professionals serve as the economic lifeline to nearly every
community in America. Transportation and trucking people are
patriots.”
On Thursday, May 6, and Friday, May 7, Yellow’s recruiting
events will take place at its Kansas City YRC Freight terminal,
3500 Booth Ave, Kansas City, Mo., from 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM.
Candidates will have the opportunity to interview with hiring
managers and receive assistance with applications and paperwork. No
reservation is necessary.
Yellow regularly sponsors its Kansas City Driving Academy for
qualified candidates who are interested in obtaining a Commercial
Driver’s License (CDL) tuition-free. For information on dates,
