(NASDAQ: YRCW) – Holland, a subsidiary of YRC Worldwide Inc. and a
leader in Central and Southeastern next-day delivery, is
celebrating its 90-year anniversary this summer.
The company is acknowledging how far it has come since 1929,
when John and Katherine Cooper began hauling grain and hay for
farmers during the Great Depression under the company name Holland
Motor Express. Today, Holland has grown to be a nationally
recognized carrier, operating 53 service centers across the U.S.
with more than 6,800 trailers and 4,100 tractors. Holland, a member
of the YRC Worldwide family of brands, employs more than 8,200 team
members.
“John and Katherine Cooper started Holland Motor Express
with a strong set of core values: having integrity in all
relationships, showing respect for each individual, working hard,
excelling in all areas of customer service and continuously
improving,” said Scott Ware, chief network officer at YRC
Worldwide and president of Holland. “These are the values
our employees continue to live out today, carrying our founders’
vision forward over the course of 90 years. We are humbled to have
come this far, and we know we have the right people with the right
service commitments in place, positioning us to be a valuable
resource for customers well into the future.”
As part of Holland’s 90-year celebration, the company will host
events in its Holland, Michigan office, as well as field offices,
to recognize and thank the thousands of loyal employees who work
hard to take care of the customers they serve.

Carriers category; the 2018 LTL Carrier of the Year by the True
