	Description of Business
	YRC Worldwide Inc. (also referred to as “YRC Worldwide,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), one of the largest transportation service providers in the world, is a holding company that through wholly owned operating subsidiaries and its interest in a Chinese joint venture offers its customers a wide range of transportation services. YRC Worldwide has one of the largest, most comprehensive less-than-truckload ("LTL") networks in North America with local, regional, national and international capabilities. Through its team of experienced service professionals, YRC Worldwide offers industry-leading expertise in heavyweight shipments and flexible supply chain solutions, ensuring customers can ship industrial, commercial and retail goods with confidence. Our reporting segments include the following:
	•	YRC Freight is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in national, regional and international markets. YRC Freight provides for the movement of industrial, commercial and retail goods, primarily through centralized management and customer facing organizations. This unit includes our LTL subsidiary YRC Inc. (“YRC Freight”) and Reimer Express (“YRC Reimer”), a subsidiary located in Canada that specializes in shipments into, across and out of Canada. In addition to the United States and Canada, YRC Freight also serves parts of Mexico, Puerto Rico and Guam.
	•	Regional Transportation is the reporting segment for our transportation service providers focused on business opportunities in the regional and next-day delivery markets. Regional Transportation is comprised of USF Holland Inc. (“Holland”), New Penn Motor Express (“New Penn”) and USF Reddaway Inc. (“Reddaway”). These companies each provide regional, next-day ground services in their respective regions through a network of facilities located across the United States, Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico.
	In 2011 we reported a Truckload reporting segment, which consisted of USF Glen Moore, Inc. ("Glen Moore"), a former domestic truckload carrier. On December 15, 2011, we sold the majority of Glen Moore's assets to a third party and concluded its operations.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]	'
Principles of Consolidation	'
	Principles of Consolidation
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of YRC Worldwide and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We report on a calendar year basis. The quarters of the Regional Transportation companies (with the exception of New Penn) consist of thirteen weeks that end on a Saturday either before or after the end of March, June and September, whereas all other operating segment quarters end on the natural calendar quarter end. Our investment in the non-majority owned affiliate in which we do not have control where the entity is either not a variable interest entity or YRC Worldwide is not the primary beneficiary is accounted for on the equity method. Other comprehensive loss attributable to our noncontrolling interest was not significant for any period presented. Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Accounting policies refer to specific accounting principles and the methods of applying those principles to fairly present our financial position and results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The policies discussed below include those that management has determined to be the most appropriate in preparing our financial statements.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less. Under the Company's cash management system, checks issued but not presented to banks frequently result in book overdraft balances for accounting purposes which are classified within accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The change in book overdrafts are reported as a component of operating cash flows for accounts payable as they do not represent bank overdrafts.
	Concentration of Credit Risks and Other
	We sell services and extend credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, without requiring collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial condition. We monitor our exposure for credit losses and maintain allowances for anticipated losses.
	At December 31, 2013, approximately 78% of our labor force is subject to collective bargaining agreements. As part of the 2014 Financing Transactions (which is described more fully in the "2014 Financing Transaction" footnote to our consolidated financial statements), the primary labor agreement was modified to, among other things, extend the expiration date of our previous agreement from March 31, 2015 to March 31, 2019. This extension also extended the contribution rates under our multi-employer pension plan. The modification provided for lump sum payments in lieu of wage increases in 2014 and 2015, but provided for wage increases in 2016 through 2019. We will amortize these lump sum payments over the period in which the wages will not be increased beginning on April 1, 2014. Finally, the modification provided for certain changes to work rules and our use of purchased transportation in certain situations.
	Revenue Recognition
	For shipments in transit, we record revenue based on the percentage of service completed as of the period end and accrue delivery costs as incurred. The percentage of service completed for each shipment is based on how far along in the shipment cycle each shipment is in relation to standard transit days. Standard transit days are defined as our published service days between origin zip code and destination zip code. Based on historical cost and engineering studies, certain percentages of revenue are determined to be earned during each stage of the shipment cycle, such as initial pick up, long distance transportation, intermediate transfer and customer delivery. Using standard transit times, we analyze each shipment in transit at a particular period end to determine what stage the shipment is in. We apply that stage's percentage of revenue earned factor to the rated revenue for that shipment to determine the revenue dollars earned by that shipment in the current period. The total revenue earned is accumulated for all shipments in transit at a particular period end and recorded as operating revenue.
	In addition, we recognize revenue on a gross basis because we are the primary obligors even when we use other transportation service providers who act on our behalf. We remain responsible to our customers for complete and proper shipment, including the risk of physical loss or damage of the goods and cargo claims issues. We assign pricing to bills of lading at the time of shipment based primarily on the weight, general classification of the product, the shipping destination and individual customer discounts. This process is referred to as rating. At various points throughout our process, incorrect ratings could be identified based on many factors, including weight verifications or updated customer discounts. Although the majority of rerating occurs in the same month as the original rating, a portion occurs during the following periods. We accrue a reserve for rerating based on historical trends. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, our financial statements included a rerate reserve as a reduction to “Accounts Receivable” of $9.6 million and $11.9 million, respectively.
	Uncollectible Accounts
	We record an allowance for doubtful accounts primarily based on historical uncollectible amounts. We also take into account known factors surrounding specific customers and overall collection trends. Our process involves performing ongoing credit evaluations of customers, including the market in which they operate and the overall economic conditions. We continually review historical trends and make adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts as appropriate. Our allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $9.3 million and $9.8 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Foreign Currency
	Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, whereas, our foreign operations utilize the local currency as their functional currency. Accordingly, for purposes of translating foreign subsidiary financial statements to the U.S. dollar reporting currency, assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated at the fiscal year end exchange rates and income and expenses are translated monthly, at the average exchange rates for each respective month, with changes recognized in other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions resulted in a $3.7 million net gain, $2.0 million net gain and a $5.2 million net gain during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and are included in “Other nonoperating (income) expense” in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.
	Claims and Insurance Accruals
	Claims and insurance accruals, both current and long-term, reflect the estimated settlement cost of claims for workers' compensation, cargo loss and damage, and property damage and liability that insurance does not cover. We establish and modify reserve estimates for workers' compensation and property damage and liability claims primarily upon actuarial analyses prepared by independent actuaries. These reserves are discounted to present value using a risk-free rate based on the year of occurrence. The risk-free rate is the U.S. Treasury rate for maturities that match the expected payout of such claims and was 0.5%, 0.4% and 0.8% for workers' compensation claims incurred as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The rate was 0.3%, 0.3% and 0.5% for property damage and liability claims incurred as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The process of determining reserve requirements utilizes historical trends and involves an evaluation of accident frequency and severity, claims management, changes in health care costs and certain future administrative costs. The effect of future inflation for costs is considered in the actuarial analysis. Adjustments to previously established reserves are included in operating results in the year of adjustment. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had $400.4 million and $437.3 million, respectively, accrued for claims and insurance.

	Total	$	347		$	68.8		$	415.8
	Stock Compensation Plans
	We have various stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in the "Stock Compensation Plans" footnote to our consolidated financial statements. We recognize compensation costs for non-vested shares and compensation cost for all share-based payments (i.e., options) based on the grant date fair value. Additionally, we recognize compensation cost for all share-based payments granted on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period (generally three to four years) based on the grant-date fair value.
	Property and Equipment
	The following is a summary of the components of our property and equipment at cost as of December 31:
	(in millions)	2013				2012
	Land	$	267.8			$	269.6
	Structures	810.4				825.8
	Revenue equipment	1,438.30				1,442.80
	Technology equipment and software	133.9				127
	Other	193.8				203.8
	Total cost	$	2,844.20			$	2,869.00
	We carry property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method based on the following service lives:
		Years
	Structures	30-Oct
	Revenue equipment	20-Oct
	Technology equipment and software	7-Mar
	Other	10-Mar
	We charge maintenance and repairs to expense as incurred and betterments are capitalized. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the remaining lease term.
	Our investment in technology equipment and software consists primarily of customer service and freight management equipment and related software.
	For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, depreciation expense was $153.8 million, $165.2 million, and $173.8 million, respectively.
	The cost of replacement tires are expensed at the time those tires are placed into service, as is the case with other repair and maintenance costs. The cost of tires on newly acquired revenue equipment is capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related equipment.
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
If facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of held-and-used identifiable amortizable intangibles and property, plant and equipment may be impaired, we perform an evaluation of recoverability in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360. Our evaluation compares the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or asset group to its carrying amount to determine if a reduction to the carrying amount is required. The carrying amount of an impaired asset would be reduced to fair value if the estimated undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset group. We performed impairment reviews for held-and-used long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 in connection with an update of our internal business forecasts that considered current economic conditions and results of operations.
Impairment of Equity Method Investments
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we determined that the estimated fair value of JHJ International Transportation Company, Ltd ("JHJ"), a 50% owned equity investment, did not exceed its carrying amount and resulted in an impairment charge of $30.8 million. This determination was based upon market information we obtained in the fourth quarter of 2012 (a Level 3 fair value measurement). This impairment charge was recorded in equity investment impairment in the "Corporate and Other" segment in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.
During the year ended December 31, 2011, we determined the estimated fair value of Jiayu, a 65% owned equity investment at the time, did not exceed its carrying amount and resulted in an impairment charge of $1.3 million on the property, plant and equipment, primarily based on the used revenue equipment market in China (a Level 3 fair value measurement), and $2.7 million on the intangibles. These impairment charges were recorded in depreciation and amortization in the "Corporate and Other" segment in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Assets Held for Sale
When we plan to dispose of property or equipment by sale, the asset is carried in the financial statements at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value, less cost to sell, and is reclassified to assets held for sale. Additionally, after such reclassification, there is no further depreciation taken on the asset. For an asset to be classified as held for sale, management must approve and commit to a formal plan, the sale should be anticipated during the ensuing year and the asset must be actively marketed, be available for immediate sale, and meet certain other specified criteria. We use level 3 inputs to determine the fair value of each property that is considered as held for sale.
At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the net book value of assets held for sale was approximately $17.2 million and $7.3 million, respectively. This amount is included in “Property and Equipment” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We recorded charges of $3.9 million, $13.2 million and $17.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, to reduce properties held for sale to estimated fair value, less cost to sell. These charges are included in “Gains on property disposals, net” in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.
Earnings from Equity Method Investments
We account for the ownership of our joint venture under the equity method and accordingly, recognize our share of the respective joint ventures earnings in “Other nonoperating (income) expense” in the accompanying statements of operations.
The following reflects the components of these results for the years ended December 31:
(in millions)	2013			2012			2011
Our share of joint venture earnings	$	(2.1	)	$	(1.9	)	$	(2.7	)
Impairment charge	—			30.8			—
Net equity method (earnings) losses	$	(2.1	)	$	28.9		$	(2.7	)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We determined fair value measurements used in our consolidated financial statements based upon the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
•	Level 1: Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
•	Level 2: Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
•	Level 3: Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The asset's or liability's fair value measurement level with the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The valuation methodologies described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. We believe that our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants. The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial assets could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
The following tables summarize the fair value hierarchy of our financial assets held at fair value on a recurring basis, which consists of our restricted cash held in escrow:
					Fair Value Measurement at December 31, 2013
(in millions)	Total Carrying				Quoted prices				Significant		Significant

Total assets at fair value	$	122.5			$	122.5			$	—	$	—
Restricted amounts held in escrow are invested in money market accounts and are recorded at fair value on quoted market prices. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Reclassifications Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we reclassified the amortization of our net pension gain (loss) totaling $9.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net loss. This reclassification is a component of net periodic pension cost and is discussed in the "Employee Benefits" footnote.

	Investment
	Shanghai Jiayu Logistics Co., Ltd.
	On August 19, 2008, we completed the purchase of a 65% equity interest in Shanghai Jiayu Logistics Co., Ltd. (“Jiayu”), a Shanghai, China ground transportation company with a purchase price of $59.4 million. Through March 31, 2010, we accounted for our 65% ownership interest in Jiayu as an equity method investment as the rights of the minority shareholder were considered extensive and allowed for his ability to veto many business decisions. These rights were primarily provided as a part of the General Manager role held by the minority shareholder. Effective April, 1, 2010, the minority shareholder no longer had a role in managing the operations of the business which changed the conclusions from an accounting perspective regarding the relationship of this joint venture and required that we consolidate Jiayu in our financial statements effective April 1, 2010. The results of operations for Jiayu were included in our ‘Corporate and other’ reporting segment from April 1, 2010 to February 29, 2012. In an effort to focus on our core operations, we entered into an agreement in March 2012 to sell our 65% equity interest in Jiayu to the minority shareholder. The transaction closed during the fourth quarter of 2012. At the time the agreement was entered into, management control was passed to the minority shareholder and, as a result, we deconsolidated our interest in Jiayu during March 2012 and returned to accounting for our ownership interest as an equity method investment. Based on the March 2012 agreement, we recorded our equity method investment at its estimated fair value of $0 and wrote off a $12.0 million note receivable from Jiayu. After consideration of the non-controlling interest and other factors, we recognized a loss of $4.2 million upon the deconsolidation of our investment during 2012. Additionally, the noncontrolling interest was allocated a $4.2 million gain on this transaction.

	Intangible assets with indefinite lives, which consist of our tradenames, are not subject to amortization, but are subjected to an impairment test at least annually and as triggering events may occur. The impairment test for tradenames consists of a comparison of the fair value of the tradename with its carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the asset. In making this assessment, we utilized the relief from royalty method, an income approach (a level 3 fair value measurement), which includes assumptions as to future revenue, applicable royalty rate and cost of capital, among others.

Network Optimization	'
	In the second quarter of 2013, our YRC Freight reporting segment implemented its plan to optimize its freight network. This optimization reduced the number of handling and relay locations. Costs associated with this plan, which consist of employee separation costs and contract termination, asset impairments and other costs, are recorded at either their contractual amounts or their fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded $7.8 million related to these costs in the YRC Freight reporting segment.
	Charges for the network optimization are included in "Salaries, wages and employees' benefits" as it relates to employee separation costs and "Operating expenses and supplies" as is relates to contract termination and other costs in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations. In addition to the charges detailed below, we have recorded impairment charges on facilities that are part of the network optimization totaling $1.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2013. These charges are included in "(Gains) losses on property disposals, net" in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.

	Qualified and Nonqualified Defined Benefit Pension Plans
	With the exception of Regional Transportation, YRC Reimer and certain of our other foreign subsidiaries, YRC Worldwide and its operating subsidiaries sponsor qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans for certain employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements (approximately 14,000 current, former and retired employees). Qualified and nonqualified pension benefits are based on years of service and the employees' covered earnings. Employees covered by collective bargaining agreements participate in various multi-employer pension plans to which YRC Worldwide contributes, as discussed below. Regional Transportation does not offer a defined benefit pension plan and instead offers retirement benefits through either contributory 401(k) savings plans or profit sharing plans, as discussed below. The existing YRC Worldwide defined benefit pension plans closed to new participants effective January 1, 2004 and the benefit accrual for active employees was frozen effective July 1, 2008. Our actuarial valuation measurement date for our pension plans is December 31.

	Mortality table	RP-2000		RP-2000		RP-2000 Projected to 2011
		Projected to 2013		Projected to 2012
	The discount rate refers to the interest rate used to discount the estimated future benefit payments to their present value, also referred to as the benefit obligation. The discount rate allows us to estimate what it would cost to settle the pension obligations as of the measurement date, December 31, and is used as the interest rate factor in the following year's pension cost. We determine the discount rate by selecting a portfolio of high quality noncallable bonds such that the coupons and maturities exceed our expected benefit payments.
	In determining the expected rate of return on assets, we consider our historical experience in the plans' investment portfolio, historical market data and long-term historical relationships as well as a review of other objective indices including current market factors such as inflation and interest rates. Although plan investments are subject to short-term market volatility, we believe they are well diversified and closely managed. Our asset allocation as of December 31, 2013, consisted of 35% equities, 34% in debt securities and 31% in absolute return investments and as of December 31, 2012 consisted of 27% equities, 50% in debt securities and 23% in absolute return investments. The 2013 allocations are consistent with the targeted long-term asset allocation for the plans which is 33% equities, 35% debt securities and 32% absolute return investments. Based on various market factors, we selected an expected rate of return on assets of 7.0% effective for the 2013 and 2012 valuations. We will continue to review our expected long-term rate of return on an annual basis and revise appropriately. The pension trust holds no YRC Worldwide securities.
	Future Contributions and Benefit Payments
	We expect to contribute approximately $79.9 million to our single employer pension plans in 2014.
	Expected benefit payments from our qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans for each of the next five years and the total payments for the following five years ended December 31 are as follows:
	(in millions)	2014			2015			2016			2017		2018		2019-2023

	Pension and Other Post-retirement Costs
	The components of our net periodic pension cost, other post-retirement costs and other amounts recognized in other comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:
	(in millions)	2013			2012			2011

Total recognized in net periodic benefit cost and other comprehensive (income) loss	$	(102.8	)	$	182.5		$	25.4
During the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the income tax provision (benefit) related to amounts in other comprehensive income was $42.7 million and $(1.3) million. There was no corresponding amount in 2011.
Fair Value Measurement
Our pension assets are stated at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The majority of our assets are invested in Level 2 assets of fixed income funds and absolute return investments. These funds are valued at quoted redemption values that represent the net asset values of units held at year-end which we have determined approximates fair value.
Investments in private equities and absolute return funds do not have readily available market values. These estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed, and such differences could be material. Investments in hedge funds that do not have an established market are valued at net asset values as determined by the investment managers, which we have determined approximates fair value.
The table below details by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the pension assets at fair value as of December 31, 2013:

The assets presented in the December 31, 2013 and 2012 fair value hierarchy tables classified as Level 1 and Level 2, which fair value is estimated using NAV per share, have redemption frequencies ranging from daily to annually, have redemption notice periods from approximately 1 day to 90 days and have no unfunded commitments. These assets consist of equity, fixed income, and absolute return funds. Generally, the investment strategies of the fixed income and equity funds is based on fundamental and quantitative analysis and consists of long and hedged strategies. The general strategy of the absolute return funds consists of alternative investment techniques, including derivative instruments and other unconventional assets, to achieve a stated return rate.
Multi-Employer Pension Plans
YRC Freight, New Penn, Holland and Reddaway contribute to various separate multi-employer health, welfare and pension plans for employees that are covered by our collective bargaining agreements (approximately 78% of total YRC Worldwide employees). The collective bargaining agreements determine the amounts of these contributions. The health and welfare plans provide medical related benefits to active employees and retirees. The pension plans provide defined benefits to retired participants. We recognize as net pension cost within 'salaries, wages and employee benefits' the contractually required contributions for the period and recognize as a liability any contributions due and unpaid at period end. We do not directly manage multi-employer plans. The trusts covering these plans are generally managed by trustees, half of whom the unions appoint and half of whom various contributing employers appoint.
We expensed the following amounts related to these plans for the years ended December 31:
(in millions)	2013			2012			2011
Health and welfare	$	399.5		$	387.5		$	378.2
Pension	89.1			85.6			48.7
Total	$	488.6		$	473.1		$	426.9
Pension
Through the third quarter of 2009, we deferred payment of certain of our contributions to multi-employer pension funds. These deferred payments have been recognized as an operating expense and the liability was recorded as deferred contribution obligations. Beginning in the third quarter of 2009 through May 2011, most of our collective bargaining agreements provided for a temporary cessation of pension contributions so no expense or liability was required to be recognized for that period. In accordance with modifications to our collective bargaining agreements, we agreed to resume making pension contributions effective June 1, 2011 at 25.0% of the contribution rate in effect as of July 1, 2009.
The following table provides additional information related to our participation in individually significant multi-employer pension plans for the year ended December 31, 2013:

(a) The determination of individually significant multi-employer plans is based on the relative contributions to the plans over the periods presented as well as other factors.
(b) The Pension Protection Zone Status is based on information that the Company obtained from the plans' Forms 5500. Unless otherwise noted, the most recent Pension Protection Act (PPA) zone status available for 2013 and 2012 is for the plan's year-end during calendar years 2012 and 2011, respectively. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65 percent funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80 percent funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80 percent funded.
(c) The policies of the Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Trust precluded the Company from reentering the plan on June 1, 2011. The plan did not assess a withdrawal liability and has not done so since June 1, 2011. Contributions related to the employees previously covered by this plan are now being made to the Teamsters National 401(k) Plan.
YRC Worldwide was listed in the Central States, Southwest and Southwest Areas Pension Plan, Road Carriers Local 707 Pension Fund and Teamsters Local 641 Pension Fund's Forms 5500 as providing more than 5 percent of the total contributions for 2012 and 2011.
We contributed a total of $88.7 million, $84.9 million and $45.6 million to the multi-employer pension funds for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. The following table provides the pension amounts contributed by fund for those funds that are considered to be individually significant:
(in millions)	2013			2012			2011
Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Plan	$	52.1		$	51.9		$	27.6
Teamsters National 401K Savings Plan	11.2			11			5.8
I.B. of T. Union Local No 710 Pension Fund	4.4			4.1			2.2
Central Pennsylvania Teamsters Defined Benefit Plan	4.5			4.5			2.3
Road Carriers Local 707 Pension Fund	2.3			2.5			1.2
Teamsters Local 641 Pension Fund	1.6			1.6			0.8
The comparability of annual contributions for 2011 through 2013 is primarily impacted by the temporary cessation of contributions for the period from the third quarter of 2009 through May 2011.
In 2006, the Pension Protection Act became law and modified both the Internal Revenue Code (as amended, the “Code”) as it applies to multi-employer pension plans and the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (as amended, “ERISA”). The Code and ERISA (in each case, as so modified) and related regulations establish minimum funding requirements for multi-employer pension plans.
If any of our multi-employer pension plans fails to meet minimum funding requirements, meet a required funding improvement or rehabilitation plan that the Pension Protection Act may require for certain of our underfunded plans, obtain from the IRS certain changes to or a waiver of the requirements in how the applicable plan calculates its funding levels, or reduce pension benefits to a level where the requirements are met then we could be required to make additional contributions to the pension plan. If any of our multi-employer pension plans enters critical status and our contributions are not sufficient to satisfy any rehabilitation plan schedule, the Pension Protection Act could require us to make additional surcharge contributions to the multi-employer pension plan in the amount of five to ten percent of the existing contributions required by our labor agreement for the remaining term of the labor agreement.
If we fail to make our required contributions to a multi-employer plan under a funding improvement or rehabilitation plan or if the benchmarks that an applicable funding improvement plan provides are not met by the end of a prescribed period, the IRS could impose an excise tax on us with respect to the plan. Such an excise tax would then be assessed to the plan's contributing employers, including the Company. These excise taxes are not contributed to the deficient funds, but rather are deposited in the United States general treasury funds. The Company does not believe that the temporary cessation of certain of its contributions to applicable multi-employer pension funds beginning in the third quarter of 2009 and continuing through May 2011 will give rise to these excise taxes as the underlying employer contributions were not required for that period.
A requirement to materially increase contributions beyond our contractually agreed rate or the imposition of an excise tax on us could have a material adverse impact on the financial results and liquidity of YRC Worldwide.
401(k) Savings Plans
We sponsor the YRC Worldwide Inc. 401(k) Plan, which is a defined contribution plan primarily for employees that our collective bargaining agreements do not cover. The plan permits participants to make contributions to the plan and permits the employer of participants to make contributions on behalf of the participants. There were no employer contributions in 2013, 2012 or 2011. Our employees covered under collective bargaining agreements may also participate in union-sponsored 401(k) plans.
Performance Incentive Awards
YRC Worldwide and its operating subsidiaries each provide annual performance incentive awards and more frequent sales incentive awards to certain non-union employees, which are based primarily on actual operating results achieved compared to targeted operating results or sales targets and are paid in cash. Operating (loss) income in 2013, 2012, and 2011 included performance and sales incentive expense for non-union employees of $14.5 million, $12.3 million, and $13.9 million, respectively. We generally pay annual performance incentive awards in the first quarter of the following year and sales performance incentive awards on a monthly basis.
Other
We provide a performance based incentive plan to key management personnel that provides the opportunity annually to earn cash and equity awards to further compensate certain levels of management. The equity awards are more fully described in the "Stock Compensation Plans" footnote to our consolidated financial statements. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, compensation expense related to these awards was $5.8 million, $3.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

2014 Financing Transactions

2011 Financial Restructuring

On January 31, 2014, we issued 14,333,334 shares of our Common Stock and 583,334 shares of our Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to certain stock purchase agreements, dated as of December 22, 2013 (the “Stock Purchase Agreements”), for an aggregate $250.0 million in cash. We used the proceeds from these transactions to, among other things, (i) deposit with the trustee funds sufficient to repay our 6% Convertible Senior Notes ("6% Notes") at their maturity on February 15, 2014 and (ii) repurchase approximately $90.9 million of our Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes ("Series A Notes"). The Company will redeem the remaining Series A Notes on August 5, 2014. In February 2014, the Company deposited approximately $89.6 million with the trustee in order to fund the redemption (including accrued interest), and thereby discharged the indenture governing the Series A Notes.

On July 22, 2011, we completed our financial restructuring that included the following transactions (collectively referred to herein as the “restructuring”):

Also on January 31, 2014, certain holders of our 10% Series B Convertible Senior Secured Notes ("Series B Notes") exchanged their outstanding balances (including the make-whole premium and additional accrued interest through January 15, 2014) at a conversion price of $15.00 per share, while certain other holders converted their Series B Notes in accordance with their terms. We also amended the indenture governing our Series B Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default and other related provisions contained in the indenture and to release and discharge the liens on the collateral securing the Series B Notes.

•

an exchange offer, whereby we issued to our lenders under our then-existing credit agreement an aggregate of 3.7 million shares of our new Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which were converted into 4.6 million shares of common stock on a post split basis, and $140.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our Series A Notes in exchange for a $305.0 million reduction of our credit agreement obligations;

Effective January 31, 2014, certain of our subsidiaries, various pension funds party thereto, and Wilmington Trust Company, as agent for such pension funds, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement ("Second A&R CDA"), which, among other things (i) amended and restated the Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement ("A&R CDA") (which agreement is discussed in our "Debt and Financing footnote"), (ii) released the agent’s security interest in third priority collateral on the Collateral Release Date (as defined therein), (iii) limited the value of obligations secured by the collateral to the Secured Obligations (as defined therein) and (iv) extended the maturity of deferred pension payments and deferred interest from March 31, 2015 to December 31, 2019.

•

the issuance and sale for cash to such lenders of $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our Series B Notes;

On February 13, 2014, we replaced our existing credit facilities (as discussed in our "Debt and Financing" footnote) with a new $450 million New ABL Facility (the "New ABL Facility") and a new $700 million term loan facility ("New Term Loan"). The New ABL Facility will be used to support our $364.6 million of outstanding letters of credit commitments as of December 31, 2013.

We refer to transactions described above collectively as the "2014 Financing Transactions." The table below summarizes the cash flow activity for the 2014 Financing Transactions:

•

the issuance of 1.3 million shares of our Series B Preferred Stock to the Teamster-National 401(k) Savings Plan for the benefit of the Company's IBT employees, which were converted into 1.6 million shares of common stock on a post split basis;

•

Following the restructuring, we amended and restated our certificate of incorporation on September 16, 2011 such that, among other things, all of our outstanding Series B Preferred Stock issued in the restructuring automatically converted into shares of our common stock and effected a one-for 300 reverse stock split on December 1, 2011.

The table below summarizes the non-cash activity for the 2014 Financing Transactions:

Restructured Credit Agreement Claims

In connection with the restructuring, we exchanged $305.0 million of amounts due under our prior credit agreement for an aggregate of 3.7 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock and $140.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our Series A Notes. We estimated the fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock to be $43.2 million. We also converted the remaining prior credit agreement borrowings from the revolving credit facility to the restructured term loan, eliminated the unused revolving credit facility capacity and extended the prior credit agreement maturity date to March 31, 2015 for the $307.4 million aggregate principal amount restructured term loan and the $437.0 million letter of credit facility.

Non-Cash Sources (in millions)

Non-Cash Uses (in millions)

In accordance with FASB ASC 470-60, we accounted for this element of the restructuring as a troubled debt restructuring as the Company had been experiencing financial difficulty and the lenders granted a concession to the Company. We assessed the total future cash flows of the restructured debt as compared to the carrying amount of the original debt and determined the total future cash flows to be greater than the carrying amount at the date of the restructuring. As such, the carrying amount was not adjusted and no gain was recorded, consistent with troubled debt restructuring accounting.

The prior credit agreement's carryover basis was allocated to the Prior Term Loan and Series A Notes on a relative fair value basis, after taking into account the Series B Preferred Stock and the conversion feature in the Series A Notes. The difference in the effective interest rates as compared to the stated interest rates for the restructured term loan and Series A Notes is a function of the underlying fair values of the respective instruments, due to the allocation of carryover basis on a relative fair value basis. Fair values of the respective instruments were based on a contemporaneous valuation using an option pricing model, a Level 3 fair value measurement.

Exchange/conversion of Series B Notes to common stock

50.6

The fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock was based on a contemporaneous valuation, whereas an estimated enterprise value was first calculated using assumptions related to market multiples of earnings, a market approach which is a Level 3 fair value measurement. The estimated enterprise value was then reduced by the fair value of our debt instruments post-restructuring, with the residual allocated to our Series B Preferred Stock and common stock. See further discussion regarding our Series B Preferred Stock in our "Shareholders' Deficit" footnote to our consolidated financial statements.

Exchange/conversion of Series B Notes to common stock

50.6

The conversion feature embedded in the Series A Notes was required to be bifurcated on the restructuring closing date and separately measured as a derivative liability, as the Company did not have enough authorized and unissued common shares to satisfy conversion of the Series A Notes. We estimated the fair value of the conversion feature based on a contemporaneous valuation using an option pricing model, a Level 3 fair value measurement, and determined the fair value to be $12.4 million.

On September 16, 2011, the Company held a special meeting of shareholders at which the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation was approved and the number of authorized common shares increased to allow for the conversions. This increase provided sufficient authorized common shares to satisfy the conversion feature in the Series A Notes, and thus the conversion feature in the Series A Notes was no longer required to be bifurcated and presented as a derivative liability. The conversion feature was adjusted to a fair value of $26.5 million on September 16, 2011, with the change of $14.1 million recorded as 'Fair value adjustment on derivative liabilities' in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations. The fair value of the conversion feature was then reclassified as an equity-classified derivative within 'Capital surplus' in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

In 2014, we will account for the A&R CDA maturity extension as a debt modification and the remaining transactions as extinguishment of debt and issuance of new debt. We anticipate recording a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $15 million associated with this transaction in the first quarter of 2014. We paid approximately $40 million of fees associated with these transactions of which approximately $25 million will be recorded as unamortized deferred debt costs in “Other assets” in the consolidated balance sheet in the first quarter of 2014 and will be recognized as interest expense over the term of the New Term Loan and New ABL Facility and approximately $15 million will offset the equity proceeds of our stock purchase agreements.

We allocated $15.6 million of professional fees to this element of the restructuring, of which $14.0 million are related to the issuance of the Series A Notes and modifications to the prior credit agreement. Such amount has been recognized as 'Nonoperating restructuring transaction costs' in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations, consistent with troubled debt restructuring accounting. The remaining $1.6 million of professional fees are allocated to the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock and have been recorded as a reduction to 'Capital surplus' in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

$700 Million First Lien Term Loan

Prior ABL Facility and Refinancing of ABS Facility

- Overview: On February 13, 2014, we borrowed in full $700 million, and received in cash less a 1% discount, from a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions arranged by Credit Suisse Securities (USA) and RBS Citizens, N.A. No amounts under this New Term Loan, once repaid, may be reborrowed. Certain material provisions of the New Term Loan are summarized below:

In connection with the restructuring, the Company entered into the Prior ABL Facility, of which the Term A Facility was funded by lenders that did not participate in the ABS Facility and the Term B Facility was funded by one of the ABS Facility lenders. This element of the restructuring was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and issuance of new debt, for the portion of Prior ABL Facility debt attributed to lenders that did not participate in the ABS Facility. For the portion of the Prior ABL Facility debt attributed to the lender that participated in the ABS Facility, this element of the transaction was being accounted for as an exchange of line-of-credit or revolving-debt arrangements.

- Maturity and Amortization: The New Term Loan matures on February 13, 2019. The New Term Loan will amortize in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the New Term Loan commencing on the last day of the first full fiscal quarter ending after the closing date.

As a part of refinancing the ABS Facility, the lenders agreed to forgive accrued interest of $11.3 million and deferred commitment fees of $15.0 million. The forgiveness of the interest and fees along with the write-off of $1.2 million of unamortized deferred debt costs associated with the ABS Facility resulted in the recognition of a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $25.1 million. Such amount has been recognized as '(Gain) loss on extinguishment of debt' in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.

- Incremental: Subject to finding current or new lenders willing to provide such commitments, the Company has the right to incur one or more increases to the New Term Loan and/or one or more new tranches of term loans (which may be unsecured or secured on a junior basis) to be made available under the New Term Loan credit agreement which shall not exceed (i) $250 million so long as the senior secured leverage ratio on a pro forma basis does not exceed 3.25 to 1.0, plus (ii) all voluntary prepayments of the New Term Loan.

We allocated $5.2 million of professional fees to this element of the restructuring. Such costs have been recorded as unamortized deferred debt costs in “Other assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and were recognized as interest expense over the term of the Prior ABL Facility.

- Interest and Fees: The New Term Loan bears interest, at the election of the borrower, at either the applicable London interbank offer rate ("LIBOR") (subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus a margin of 7.00% per annum, or a rate determined by reference to the alternate base rate (the greater of the prime rate established by the administrative agent, the federal fund rate plus 0.50% and one month, LIBOR plus 1.00%) plus a margin of 6.00%.

Restructured Contribution Deferral Agreement

- Guarantors: The obligations of the borrower under the New Term Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by certain wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries of the Company (the “Term Guarantors”).

- Collateral: The New Term Loan is secured by a perfected first priority security interest in (subject to permitted liens) substantially all assets of the Company and the guarantors under the New Term Loan (the “Term Guarantors”), except that accounts receivable, cash, deposit accounts and other assets related to accounts receivable are subject to a second priority interest (subject to permitted liens) and certain owned real property securing the obligations under the Second A&R CDA filed January 31, 2014, do not secure the obligations under the New Term Loan credit agreement (the “CDA Collateral”).

In connection with the restructuring, we entered into the A&R CDA with certain multi-employer pension funds to which we contribute. Such amendment, among other things, revised the final maturity date from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2015 for amounts outstanding at the date of the restructuring, converted accrued interest of $4.5 million at the time of the restructuring to principal, and increased the interest rate for the Central States Pension Fund, which represents 64.3% of the total amount outstanding under the CDA, to 7.5%. The impact of this element of the restructuring on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet was primarily limited to the reclassification of current obligations to non-current liabilities, due to the change in maturity date for all principal to March 31, 2015.

- Mandatory Prepayments: The New Term Loan includes the following mandatory prepayments:

We allocated $3.8 million of professional fees to this element of the restructuring. Such amount has been recognized as 'Nonoperating restructuring transaction costs' in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.

•

50% of excess cash flow (paid if permitted under the New ABL Facility), subject to step downs to (x) 25% if the total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 but greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and (y) 0% if the total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00.

Series B Notes

•

100% of the net cash proceeds of all asset sales or similar dispositions outside of the ordinary course of business and casualty events (subject to materiality thresholds and customary reinvestment rights)

The conversion feature embedded in the Series B Notes was required to be bifurcated on the restructuring date and separately measured as a derivative liability, as the Company did not have enough authorized and unissued common shares to satisfy conversion of the Series B Notes. We estimated the fair value of the conversion feature based on a contemporaneous valuation using an option pricing model, a Level 3 fair value measurement, and determined the fair value to be $41.7 million.

•

100% of cash proceeds from debt issuances that are not permitted by the New Term Loan documentation.

On September 16, 2011, the Company held a special meeting of shareholders at which the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation was approved and the number of authorized common shares to allow for the conversions. This increase provided sufficient authorized common shares to satisfy the conversion feature in the Series B Notes, and thus the conversion feature in the Series B Notes was no longer required to be bifurcated and presented as a derivative liability. The conversion feature was adjusted to a fair value of $106.8 million on September 16, 2011, with the change of $65.1 million recorded as 'Fair value adjustment on derivative liabilities' in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations. The $106.8 million fair value of the conversion feature was then reclassified as an equity-classified derivative within 'Capital surplus' in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

- Events of Default: The New Term Loan documentation contains certain customary events of default, including but not limited to the failure to make payments due under the New Term Loan, breach of and failure to cure the breach of certain covenants, the entry of a final unpaid judgment against any of the Term Guarantors in excess of $30 million, the commencement of certain insolvency proceedings, liquidations or dissolutions, a cross-default to certain other indebtedness with an outstanding aggregate principal balance of at least $30 million (other than the New ABL Facility), and cross-acceleration to the New ABL Facility.

- Covenants: The New Term Loan contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, covenants restricting the incurrences of debt, liens, the making of investments and repurchases, transactions with affiliates, fundamental changes and asset sales, and prepayments of junior debt. In addition, refer to the "Liquidity" footnote for financial covenants for each of the remaining test periods.

We allocated $2.1 million of professional fees to this element of the restructuring. Such costs have been recorded as unamortized deferred debt costs in “Other assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and will be recognized as interest expense over the term of the Series B Notes.

$450 Million ABL Facility

- Overview: On February 13, 2014, we entered into the New ABL Facility which is an asset-based $450 million loan facility from a syndicate of banks arranged by RBS Citizens, N.A., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith and CIT Finance LLC. The New ABL Facility terminates on February 13, 2019 (the “Termination Date”). The Company, YRC Inc., USF Reddaway Inc., USF Holland Inc. and New Penn Motor Express, Inc. are borrowers under the New ABL Facility, and certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries are guarantors thereunder. Certain material provisions of the New ABL Facility are summarized below:

- Availability: The aggregate amount available under the New ABL Facility is subject to a borrowing base equal to the sum of (a) 85% of the sum of (i) eligible accounts minus without duplication (ii) the dilution reserve, plus (b) 100% of eligible borrowing base cash (which constitutes cash that has been deposited from time to time in a restricted account with the agent), minus (c) the deferred revenue reserve (which constitutes 85% of the “deferred revenue liability” as reflected on the balance sheet of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of the last day of the most recently completed fiscal month), minus (d) the availability reserve imposed by the agent in its permitted discretion (made in good-faith and using reasonable business judgment). Upon entering the New ABL Facility on February 13, 2014, based upon the availability calculation, the New ABL Facility did not have any borrowing capacity.

- Interest and Fees: Revolving loans made under the New ABL Facility bear interest, at the Company’s election, of either the applicable LIBOR rate plus 2.5% or the base rate (the greater of the prime rate established by the agent, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and one month LIBOR plus 1.00%) plus 1.5% from the closing date through March 31, 2014. Thereafter, the interest rates will be subject to the following price grid based on the average quarterly excess availability under the revolver:

The rates set forth above are subject to a 0.25% reduction during any fiscal quarter for which the Company has a total leverage ratio of less than 2.50 to 1.00.

- Fees: Fees in respect of the New ABL Facility include: (i) an unused line fee payable quarterly in arrears calculated by multiplying the amount by which the commitments exceed the loans and letters of credit for any calendar quarter by the unused line fee percentage (such unused line fee percentage initially to 0.250% per annum through March 31, 2014, and thereafter 0.375% per annum if the average revolver usage is less than 50% or 0.250% per annum if the average revolver usage is greater than 50%); (ii) fees for the letter of credit facility payable quarterly in arrears which are comprised of the applicable margin in effect for LIBOR loans multiplied by the average daily stated amount of letters of credit; (iii) fronting fees for letters of credit payable quarterly in arrears equal to 0.125% of the stated amount of the letters of credit; (vi) fees to issuing banks to compensate for customary charges related to the issuance and administration of letters of credit; and (v) such fees as set forth in the fee letter arrangement dated as of February 13, 2014 by and between the agent and the Company

- Collateral: The obligations under the New ABL Facility are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in (subject to permitted liens) all accounts receivable, cash, deposit accounts and other assets related to accounts receivable of the Company and the other loan parties and an additional second priority security interest in (subject to permitted liens) substantially all remaining assets of the borrowers and the guarantors other than CDA Collateral.

- Incremental: The New ABL Facility provides for a $100 million uncommitted accordion to increase the revolving commitment in the future to support borrowing base growth.

- Events of Default: The New ABL Facility contains certain customary events of default, including but not limited to the failure to make payments due under the New ABL Facility, breach of and failure to cure the breach of certain covenants, the entry of a final unpaid judgment against any of the New ABL Facility loan parties in excess of $30 million, the commencement of any insolvency proceeding, liquidation or dissolution, and a cross-default to certain other indebtedness with an outstanding aggregate principal balance of at least $30 million (including the New Term Loan).

- Covenants: The New ABL Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants (including certain customary provisions regarding borrowing base reporting, and including, among others, covenants restricting the incurrences of debt, liens, the making of investments and repurchases, transactions with affiliates, fundamental changes and asset sales, and prepayments of junior debt). Certain of the covenants relating to investments, restricted payments and capital expenditures are relaxed upon meeting specified payment conditions or debt repayment conditions, as applicable. Payment conditions include (i) the absence of an event of default arising from such transaction, (ii) liquidity of at least $100 million or availability of at least $67.5 million and (iii) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the most recent term period on a pro forma basis is equal to or greater than 1.10 to 1.00). Debt repayment conditions include (i) the absence of an event of default from repaying such debt and (ii) availability on the date of repayment is not less than $67.5 million. During any period commencing when the New ABL Facility borrowers fail to maintain availability in an amount at least equal to 10% of the collateral line cap and until the borrowers have maintained availability of at least 10% of the collateral line cap for 30 consecutive calendar days, the New ABL Facility loan parties are required to maintain a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.10 to 1.00. The “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” is defined as (a) (i) consolidated adjusted EBITDA for such period, minus (ii) capital expenditures made during such period, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of net cash taxes paid in cash during such period, minus (iv) the amount, if any, by which the cash pension contribution for such period exceeds the pension expense for such period, and plus (v) the amount, if any, by which the pension expense for such period exceeds the cash pension contribution for such period, divided by (b) the consolidated fixed charges for such period. In addition, refer to the "Liquidity" footnote for covenants for each of the remaining test periods.

Debt and Financing	'
	Debt and Financing
	As of December 31, 2013 we had two primary credit facilities that we utilized to support our liquidity needs: the amended and restated credit agreement and an asset-based lending facility (the "Prior ABL Facility," collectively referred to as our “Prior Credit Facilities”) and were also party to a number of other financing arrangements. On February 13, 2014, we completed our 2014 Financing Transactions which substantially changed the makeup of our outstanding debt. Refer to the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote for further details. We have set forth a brief description of our two primary credit facilities and our other financing arrangements in place at December 31, 2013 below.
	Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
	- Overview: Our amended and restated credit agreement provided for a term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $307.4 million ("Prior Term Loan") and a letter of credit facility of up to $437.0 million. As of December 31, 2013, we had repaid $9.3 million in aggregate principal on the Prior Term Loan. Certain material provisions of the amended and restated credit agreement are summarized below:
	- Maturity and Amortization: The Prior Term Loan and, subject to the ability to replace or substitute letters of credit, the letters of credit, would mature on March 31, 2015. The Prior Term Loan did not amortize.
	- Interest and Fees: After giving effect to the Credit Agreement Amendment (defined below) on November 12, 2013, the Prior Term Loan, at our option, bore interest at either (x) 6.00% in excess of the alternate base rate (i.e., the greater of the prime rate and the federal funds effective rate in effect on such day plus 1/2 of 1%) in effect from time to time, or (y) 7.00% in excess of the London interbank offer rate (adjusted for maximum reserves). The London interbank offer rate was subject to a floor of 3.50% and the alternate base rate was subject to a floor of the then-applicable London interbank offer rate plus 1.0%. The stated interest rate floor of 10.0% was in effect since issuance.
	Issued but undrawn letters of credit were subject to a participation fee equal to 8.00% of the average daily amount of letter of credit exposure. Any commitment available to be used to issue letters of credit was subject to a commitment fee of 8.00% of the average daily unused commitment. Letters of credit were subject to a 1% fronting fee or as mutually agreed between the Company and the applicable issuing bank.
	- Collateral: The collateral securing the obligations under the credit agreement and guarantees entered into pursuant thereto included, subject to certain customary exceptions, all shares of capital stock of (or other ownership equity interests in) and intercompany debt owned by the Company and each present and future Guarantor and substantially all present and future property and assets of the Company or each Guarantor, except to the extent a security interest resulted in a breach, termination or default by the terms of the collateral being granted.
	Pursuant to the terms under the amended and restated credit agreement, we were required to deposit an amount into escrow accounts to secure our obligations under the credit agreement. This amount totaled $0.6 million and $12.4 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and is included in "Restricted amounts held in escrow," a non-current asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The majority of the 2012 balance was returned as part of the November 2013 amendment discussed below. The liens on the collateral securing the obligations under the amended and restated credit agreement and guarantees entered into pursuant thereto were junior to the liens securing the obligations under the amended and restated contribution deferral agreement solely with respect to certain parcels of owned real property on which the pension funds have a senior lien and certain other customary permitted liens.
	- Amendment: On November 12, 2013, YRC Worldwide entered into an amendment to its amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement Amendment"), which, among other things, reset future covenants regarding minimum Consolidated EBITDA, maximum Total Leverage Ratio and minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement Amendments, if applicable) until December 31, 2014 and reset the minimum cash balance requirement. Further, the Credit Agreement Amendment, among other things, (i) included a new definition of Pro Forma Consolidated EBITDA added for the purposes of the minimum available cash requirement as described above to be calculated by adding to Consolidated EBITDA, subject to certain limitations, the amount of cost savings, operating expense reductions, other operating improvements and initiatives and synergies associated with any restructuring transactions (and implementation thereof) (but not to exceed the actual amount deducted from revenues in determining Consolidated Net Income for any such costs and expenses), in the case of each such restructuring transaction (and implementation thereof), occurring on or after November 12, 2013, and projected by us in good faith to be reasonably anticipated to be realizable within ninety (90) days of the date thereof; (ii) increased the interest rate and commitment fee payable under our credit agreement by 50 basis points (to the interest rate commitment fee set forth in "Interest and Fees" above); (iii) waived the requirement to continue to cash collateralize letters of credit with existing net cash proceeds received from asset sales up to $12.5 million (including release of such cash proceeds); (iv) required payment of an amendment fee to each consenting lender of 1.0% of their outstanding exposure; and (v) added a new “Event of Default” that required the  6% Convertible Senior Notes to be repaid, refinanced, replaced, restructured or extended on or prior to February 1, 2014 using either cash generated from the sale of qualified equity by the Borrower, certain qualified equity issuances by the Borrower or certain permitted indebtedness. Refer to the "Liquidity" footnote of our consolidated financial statements for covenants for each of the remaining test periods. On January 30, 2014, YRC Worldwide entered into a subsequent amendment to its amended and restated credit agreement, which, among other things, (i) extended the date in the “Event of Default” requirement for the repayment of the 6% Convertible Senior Notes from February 1, 2014 to February 13, 2014, (ii) eased the available cash conditions through February 13, 2014 and (iii) made certain other changes to effectuate the 2014 Financing Transactions.
	Prior ABL Facility
	- Overview: Our Prior ABL Facility provided for a $175.0 million ABL first-out delayed draw term loan facility (the “Term A Facility”) and a $225.0 million ABL last-out term loan facility (the “Term B Facility”). We collectively refer to these term loan facilities as our “Prior ABL Facility.” The Prior ABL Facility was to terminate on September 30, 2014 (the “Termination Date”). Pursuant to the terms of the Prior ABL Facility, YRC Freight, Holland and Reddaway (each, one of our subsidiaries and each, an “Originator”) would each sell, on an ongoing basis, all accounts receivable originated by that Originator to YRCW Receivables LLC, a bankruptcy remote, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, which we refer to herein as the “Prior ABL Borrower."
	- Availability: The aggregate amount available under the Prior ABL Facility was subject to a borrowing base equal to 85% of Net Eligible Receivables, plus 100% of the portion of the Prior ABL Facility that was cash collateralized, minus reserves established by the Agent in its permitted discretion.
	- Interest and Fees: After giving effect to the ABL Credit Agreement Amendment on November 12, 2013 (described below), interest on outstanding borrowings was payable at a rate per annum equal to the reserve adjusted LIBOR rate (which is the greater of the adjusted LIBOR rate and 1.50%) or the “ABR Rate” (which was the greatest of the applicable prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, and the LIBOR rate plus 1.0%) plus an applicable margin, which, for loans under the Term A Facility were equal to 7.50% for LIBOR rate advances and 6.50% for ABR Rate advances, and for loans under the Term B Facility are equal to 10.25% for LIBOR rate advances and 9.25% for ABR Rate advances. We were required to pay a commitment fee equal to 7.50% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the commitment in respect of the Term A Facility.
	- Collateral: The ABL Facility was secured by a perfected first priority security interest in and lien (subject to permitted liens) upon all accounts receivable (and the related rights) of the ABL Borrower, together with deposit accounts into which the proceeds from such accounts receivable were remitted (collectively, the “ABL Collateral”).
	Pursuant to the terms of the Prior ABL Facility, we were required to deposit an aggregate amount equal to $90.0 million into escrow accounts to secure our obligations under the Prior ABL Facility, which amounts we expected to remain in escrow for the term of the Prior ABL Facility; this amount is included in “Restricted amounts held in escrow,” a current asset on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, which includes accrued interest. Pursuant to the terms of a standstill agreement, certain trucks, other vehicles, rolling stock, terminals, depots or other storage facilities, in each case, whether leased or owned, were subject to a standstill period in favor of the collateral agent, the administrative agent and the other secured parties under the Prior ABL Facility for a period of 10 business days (absent any exigent circumstances arising as a result of fraud, theft, concealment, destruction, waste or abscondment) with respect to the exercise of rights and remedies by the secured parties with respect to those assets under our other material debt agreements.
	- Amendment: On November 12, 2013, YRCW Receivables, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an amendment to the Prior ABL Facility (the "Prior ABL Credit Agreement Amendment"), which, among other things, reset the minimum Consolidated EBITDA covenant (as defined in the Prior ABL Facility) for each of the remaining test periods in a manner identical to the amendment of minimum Consolidated EBITDA in the Prior ABL Credit Agreement Amendment and increased the interest rate payable under the ABL Facility by 50 basis points. The Company agreed to pay all consenting lenders a fee equal to 1.0% of their outstanding loans and unused commitments.
	Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes
	On July 22, 2011, we issued $140.0 million in aggregate principal of our Series A Notes that bear interest at a stated rate of 10% per year and mature on March 31, 2015. Interest is payable on a semiannual basis in arrears only in-kind through the issuance of additional Series A Notes. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there was $177.8 million and $161.2 million in aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes outstanding, after giving effect to the payment in-kind of interest on the Series A Notes. We could redeem the Series A Notes, in whole or in part, at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. As discussed in the “2014 Refinancing” footnote, on February 13, 2014, the Company deposited approximately $89.6 million (including accrued interest) with the trustee in order to fund the redemption of the remaining Series A Notes on August 5, 2014, thereby discharging the indenture governing the Series A Notes.
	The Series A Notes became convertible into our common stock beginning July 22, 2013. Subject to certain limitations on conversion and issuance of shares, holders can convert any outstanding Series A Notes into shares of our common stock at the conversion price per share of approximately $34.0059 and a conversion rate of 29.4067 common shares per $1,000 of the Series A Notes. See "Conversions" section below for additional details regarding conversions on our Series A Notes.
	The holders of the Series A Notes are entitled to vote with our common stock on an as-converted-to-common-stock-basis, provided that, such number of votes shall be limited to 0.1089 votes for each such share of common stock on an as-converted-to-common stock-basis.
	The indenture governing the Series A Notes contained covenants limiting, among other things, us and our restricted subsidiaries' ability to (i) create liens on assets and (ii) merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of our and our guarantors' assets.
	The Series A Notes were guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries that guarantee obligations under the amended and restated credit agreement. The Series A Notes and the guarantees of the Series A Notes were our and the guarantors' senior obligations and were secured by junior priority liens on substantially the same collateral securing the amended and restated credit agreement (other than any leasehold interests and equity interests of subsidiaries to the extent such pledge of equity interests would require increased financial statement reporting obligations pursuant to Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X). As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the common stock of our largest operating companies, such as YRC Inc., Holland, New Penn and Reddaway, would be excluded as collateral under these kick-out provisions.
	Series B Convertible Senior Secured Notes
	On July 22, 2011, we issued $100.0 million of our Series B Notes that bear interest at a stated rate of 10.0% per year and mature on March 31, 2015. Interest is payable on a semiannual basis in arrears only in-kind through the issuance of additional Series B Notes. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there was $69.2 million and $91.5 million in aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes outstanding, after giving effect to the payment in-kind of interest on the Series B Notes offset by $50.9 million in aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes surrendered for conversion through December 31, 2013.
	The Series B Notes are convertible into our common stock, at any time at the conversion price per share of approximately $18.5334 and a conversion rate of 53.9567 common shares per $1,000 of the Series B Notes (such conversion price and conversion rate applying also to the Series B Notes make whole premium). Upon conversion, holders of Series B Notes will not receive any cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest; however, such holders will receive a make whole premium, equal to the total amount of interest received if the notes were held to their maturity, paid in shares of our common stock for the Series B Notes that were converted. See "Conversions" section below for additional details regarding conversions on our Series B Notes.
	As of December 31, 2013, the effective conversion price and conversion rate for Series B Notes (after taking into account the make whole premium) was $16.0056 and 62.4781 common shares per $1,000 of Series B Notes, respectively.
	The holders of the Series B Notes are entitled to vote with our common stock on an as-converted-to-common-stock-basis, provided that, such number of votes shall be limited to 0.0594 votes for each such share of common stock on an as-converted-to-common-stock-basis.
	As discussed in the “2014 Refinancing” note, we amended the indenture governing our Series B Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default and other related provisions contained in the indenture and to release and discharge the liens on the collateral securing the Series B Notes. As of December 31, 2013, the Series B Notes indenture contained customary covenants limiting, among other things, our and our restricted subsidiaries' ability to:
	•	pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments or investments;
	•	incur additional indebtedness and issue disqualified stock or subsidiary preferred stock;
	•	create liens on assets;
	•	sell assets;
	•	merge, consolidate, or sell all or substantially all of our or the guarantors' assets;
	•	enter into certain transactions with affiliates; and
	•	create restrictions on dividends or other payments by our restricted subsidiaries.
	6% Convertible Senior Notes
	On February 11, 2010, we entered into a note purchase agreement with certain investors pursuant to which such investors agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to purchase up to $70 million of our notes. The outstanding 6% notes were paid at maturity on February 15, 2014. These 6% Notes bore interest at 6% which was payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year. To the extent we were not permitted to pay interest in cash under our senior secured bank credit facilities or we reasonably determine that we had insufficient funds to pay interest in cash, we were permitted to pay interest through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock subject to certain conditions. Our amended and restated credit agreement did not restrict our ability to pay cash interest to holders of the 6% Notes and we paid cash interest to holders of the 6% Notes beginning with the August 15, 2011 interest payment date and continued to make interest payments in cash in lieu of paying interest with shares of common stock as of December 31, 2013.
	Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement
	- Overview: Certain of our subsidiaries are parties to the A&R CDA with certain multiemployer pension funds named therein (collectively, the “Funds”) pursuant to which we are permitted to continue to defer pension payments and deferred interest owed to such Funds as of July 22, 2011 (each, “Deferred Pension Payments” and “Deferred Interest”). The A&R CDA was scheduled to mature on March 31, 2015 though the Company entered into the Second A&R CDA on January 31, 2014 which extended the maturity to December 31, 2019. There is no mandatory amortization prior to that time. The Deferred Pension Payments and Deferred Interest bears interest at a fixed rate, with respect to each Fund, per annum as set forth in its trust documentation as of February 28, 2011.
	- Application of Certain Payments: Pursuant to the terms of the collective bargaining agreement with the IBT, the Company's subsidiaries began making contributions to the Funds for the month beginning June 1, 2011 at the rate of 25% of the contribution rate in effect on July 1, 2009. However, legislative changes to current law or other satisfactory action or arrangements are required to enable certain of the Funds (based on their funded status) to accept contributions at a reduced rate.
	In accordance with the re-entry arrangements between each Fund and the primary obligors, a Fund may require the primary obligors to make payments of obligations owed to such Fund under the A&R CDA in lieu of payments required pursuant to the collective bargaining agreement with the IBT or make payments into an escrow arrangement, in each case in an amount equal to such Fund's current monthly contribution amount.
	- Collateral: Under the A&R CDA, the Funds maintain their first lien on existing first priority collateral. The Funds allowed the secured parties under the Series A Notes and Series B Notes (as each are defined and described above) a second lien behind the secured parties to the credit agreement on certain properties and the Funds had a third lien on such collateral. However, under the Second A&R CDA, such third lien on certain properties was released on the collateral release date upon the occurrence of events specified therein.
	- Most Favored Nations: If any of the obligors entered into an amendment, modification, supplementation or alteration of the amended and restated credit agreement after July 22, 2011 that imposed any mandatory prepayment, cash collateralization, additional interest or fee or any other incremental payment to the lenders thereunder not required as of July 22, 2011, the primary obligors were required to pay the Funds 50% of a proportionate additional payment in respect of the Deferred Pension Payments and Deferred Interest, with certain exceptions. The Second A&R CDA removed this requirement.
	- Guarantors: The A&R CDA was guaranteed by Glen Moore and Transcontinental Lease, S. de R.L. de C.V. The Second A&R CDA released Glen Moore from such guarantee.
	Standby Letter of Credit Agreement
	On July 22, 2011, we entered into a Standby Letter of Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) pursuant to which Wells Fargo issued one replacement letter of credit and permitted an existing letter of credit to remain outstanding and we pledged certain deposit accounts and securities accounts (collectively, the “Pledged Accounts”) to Wells Fargo to secure its obligations in respect of the letters of credit. As of December 31, 2013, we had no standby letters of credit under this agreement outstanding.

Conversions
During the year ended December 31, 2013, $29.1 million of aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes converted into 1.9 million shares of our common stock.  Upon conversion, during the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded $15.2 million of additional interest expense representing the $6.6 million make whole premium and $8.6 million of accelerated amortization of the discount on Series B Notes converted. As of December 31, 2013, the effective conversion price and conversion rate for Series B Notes (after taking into account the make whole premium) was $16.0056 and 62.4781 common shares per $1,000 of Series B Notes, respectively.
As of December 31, 2013, there was $177.8 million in aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes outstanding that was convertible into approximately 5.6 million shares of our common stock at the maturity date. As discussed in the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote, on January 31, 2014, we repurchased approximately $90.9 million of our Series A Notes. The Company will redeem the remaining Series A Notes on August 5, 2014. In February 2014, the Company deposited approximately $89.6 million with the trustee in order to fund the redemption. There were no conversions of our Series A Notes as of December 31, 2013 and from December 31, 2013 through March 4, 2014.
As of December 31, 2013, there was $69.2 million in aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes outstanding that was convertible into approximately 4.2 million shares of our common stock (after taking into account the make whole premium). As discussed in the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote, on January 31, 2014, certain holders of our Series B Notes exchanged their outstanding balances as part of an exchange agreement. Outside of these exchange agreements, from December 31, 2013 through March 4, 2014, $1.2 million aggregate principal amount of Series B Notes converted into 75,900 shares of common stock.
As of December 31, 2013, a maximum of 17,600 shares of our common stock were available for future issuances in respect of the 6% Notes.  As discussed in the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote we repaid our 6% Notes on February 15, 2014.
Maturities
The principal maturities over the next five years and thereafter of total debt as of December 31, 2013 was as follows:

	Liquidity
	For a description of our outstanding debt as of December 31, 2013, please refer the "Debt and Financing" footnote to our consolidated financial statements.
	Credit Facility Covenants
	On November 12, 2013, YRC Worldwide entered into amendments to its amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement Amendment") and its then-existing ABL facility (together the "Amendments"), which, among other things, reset future covenants regarding minimum Consolidated EBITDA, maximum Total Leverage Ratio and minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in Amendments, if applicable) until December 31, 2014 and resets the minimum cash balance requirement. We were in compliance with all of our covenants as of December 31, 2013.
	Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in our New Term Loan credit agreement, was a measure that reflects our earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expense, and is further adjusted for, among other things, letter of credit fees, equity-based compensation expense, net gains or losses on property disposals and certain other items, including restructuring professional fees, expenses associated with certain lump sum payments to our IBT employees and the results of permitted dispositions and discontinued operations.
	On February 13, 2014, we completed our 2014 Financing Transactions and refinanced the debt associated with our prior credit facilities. We entered into a New Term Loan credit agreement with new financial covenants that, among other things, restricts certain capital expenditures and requires us to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio (defined as consolidated total debt divided by consolidated adjusted EBITDA) for future test periods as follows:
	Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending	Maximum Total	Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending	Maximum Total
		Leverage Ratio		Leverage Ratio
	June 30, 2014	6.00 to 1.00	June 30, 2016	3.50 to 1.00
	September 30, 2014	5.00 to 1.00	September 30, 2016	3.50 to 1.00
	December 31, 2014	4.50 to 1.00	December 31, 2016	3.25 to 1.00
	March 31, 2015	4.00 to 1.00	March 31, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
	June 30, 2015	3.75 to 1.00	June 30, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
	September 30, 2015	3.75 to 1.00	September 30, 2017	3.25 to 1.00
	December 31, 2015	3.75 to 1.00	December 31, 2017 and thereafter	3.00 to 1.00
	March 31, 2016	3.50 to 1.00
	In addition, we entered into the New ABL Facility credit agreement which, among other things, restricts certain capital expenditures and requires that the Company, in effect, maintain availability of at least 10% of the lesser of the aggregate amount of commitments from all lenders or the borrowing base. Upon entering the New ABL Facility on February 13, 2014, based upon the availability calculation, the New ABL Facility did not have any borrowing capacity.
	We believe that our results of operations will be sufficient to allow us to comply with the covenants in our new credit agreement, fund our operations, increase working capital as necessary to support our planned revenue growth and fund capital expenditures for the foreseeable future, including the next twelve months.
	In the event that we fail to comply with any New Term Loan covenant or any New ABL Facility covenant, we would be considered in default, which would enable applicable lenders to accelerate the repayment of amounts outstanding, require the cash collateralization of letters of credit (in the case of the New ABL Facility) and exercise remedies with respect to collateral and we would need to seek an amendment or waiver from the applicable lender groups. In the event that our lenders under our New Term Loan or New ABL Facility demand payment or cash collateralization (in the case of the New ABL Facility), we will not have sufficient cash to repay such indebtedness. In addition, a default under our New Term Loan or New ABL Facility or the applicable lenders exercising their remedies thereunder would trigger cross-default provisions in our other indebtedness and certain other operating agreements. Our ability to amend our New Term Loan or our New ABL Facility or otherwise obtain waivers from the applicable lenders depends on matters that are outside of our control and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in that regard.
	Risk and Uncertainties Regarding Future Liquidity
	Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, any prospective cash flow from operations and, as of December 31, 2013, available borrowings under our $400 million Prior ABL Facility. As of December 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents and availability under the Prior ABL Facility of $227.8 million and the borrowing base under our Prior ABL Facility was $376.4 million. As part of our 2014 Financing Transactions, we replaced our Prior ABL facility with a $450 million New ABL Facility. Refer to the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote for more details.
	Our principal uses of cash are to fund our operations, including making contributions to our single-employer pension plans and our multi-employer pension funds, and to meet our other cash obligations, including but not limited to paying cash interest and principal on our funded debt, letter of credit fees under our credit facilities and funding capital expenditures and lease payments for operating equipment. For the year ended December 31, 2013, our cash flow from operating activities provided net cash of $12.1 million.
	We have a considerable amount of indebtedness. As of December 31, 2013, we had $1,363.4 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding indebtedness. Our 2014 Financing Transactions reduced our outstanding indebtedness and extended the maturities for a substantial portion of our debt to 2019. Refer to the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote for more details.
	We also have a considerable amount of future funding obligations for our single-employer pension plans and the multi-employer pension funds. We expect our funding obligations for 2014 for our single-employer pension plans and multi-employer pension funds will be $79.9 million and $88.7 million, respectively. In addition, we also have, and will continue to have, substantial operating lease obligations. As of December 31, 2013, our operating lease obligations for 2014 are $56.1 million.
	Our capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $66.9 million and $66.4 million, respectively. These amounts were principally used to fund replacement engines and trailer refurbishments for our revenue fleet, capitalized costs for our network facilities and technology infrastructure. Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2013, we entered into new operating lease commitments for revenue equipment totaling $67.1 million, with such payments to be made over the average lease term of 6 years. In light of our operating results over the past few years and our liquidity needs, we have deferred certain capital expenditures and may continue to do so in the future. As a result, the average age of our fleet has increased and we will need to update our fleet periodically.
	We believe that our results of operations will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operations and meet the covenants under our New Term Loan for the foreseeable future, including the next twelve months.
	Our ability to satisfy our liquidity needs and meet future stepped-up covenants beyond 2014 is dependent on a number of factors, some of which are outside of our control. These factors include:
	•	we must achieve improvements in our operating results primarily at our YRC Freight operating segment which rely upon pricing and shipping volumes and network efficiencies;
	•	we must continue to implement and realize cost saving measures to match our costs with business levels and in a manner that does not harm operations and our productivity and efficiency initiatives must be successful; and
	•	we must be able to generate operating cash flows that are sufficient to meet the cash requirements for pension contributions to our single and multi-employer pension funds, cash interest and principal payments on our funded debt, payments on our equipment leases, and for capital expenditures or additional lease payments for new revenue equipment
	In the event our operating results indicate we will not meet our maximum total leverage ratio, we will take action to improve our maximum total leverage ratio which will include paying down our outstanding indebtedness with either cash on hand or from cash proceeds from equity issuances. The issuance of equity is outside of our control and there can be no assurance that we will be able to issue additional equity at terms that are agreeable to us.

2014 Financing Transactions

2011 Financial Restructuring

On January 31, 2014, we issued 14,333,334 shares of our Common Stock and 583,334 shares of our Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to certain stock purchase agreements, dated as of December 22, 2013 (the “Stock Purchase Agreements”), for an aggregate $250.0 million in cash. We used the proceeds from these transactions to, among other things, (i) deposit with the trustee funds sufficient to repay our 6% Convertible Senior Notes ("6% Notes") at their maturity on February 15, 2014 and (ii) repurchase approximately $90.9 million of our Series A Convertible Senior Secured Notes ("Series A Notes"). The Company will redeem the remaining Series A Notes on August 5, 2014. In February 2014, the Company deposited approximately $89.6 million with the trustee in order to fund the redemption (including accrued interest), and thereby discharged the indenture governing the Series A Notes.

On July 22, 2011, we completed our financial restructuring that included the following transactions (collectively referred to herein as the “restructuring”):

Also on January 31, 2014, certain holders of our 10% Series B Convertible Senior Secured Notes ("Series B Notes") exchanged their outstanding balances (including the make-whole premium and additional accrued interest through January 15, 2014) at a conversion price of $15.00 per share, while certain other holders converted their Series B Notes in accordance with their terms. We also amended the indenture governing our Series B Notes to eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default and other related provisions contained in the indenture and to release and discharge the liens on the collateral securing the Series B Notes.

•

an exchange offer, whereby we issued to our lenders under our then-existing credit agreement an aggregate of 3.7 million shares of our new Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which were converted into 4.6 million shares of common stock on a post split basis, and $140.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our Series A Notes in exchange for a $305.0 million reduction of our credit agreement obligations;

Effective January 31, 2014, certain of our subsidiaries, various pension funds party thereto, and Wilmington Trust Company, as agent for such pension funds, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement ("Second A&R CDA"), which, among other things (i) amended and restated the Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement ("A&R CDA") (which agreement is discussed in our "Debt and Financing footnote"), (ii) released the agent’s security interest in third priority collateral on the Collateral Release Date (as defined therein), (iii) limited the value of obligations secured by the collateral to the Secured Obligations (as defined therein) and (iv) extended the maturity of deferred pension payments and deferred interest from March 31, 2015 to December 31, 2019.

•

the issuance and sale for cash to such lenders of $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our Series B Notes;

On February 13, 2014, we replaced our existing credit facilities (as discussed in our "Debt and Financing" footnote) with a new $450 million New ABL Facility (the "New ABL Facility") and a new $700 million term loan facility ("New Term Loan"). The New ABL Facility will be used to support our $364.6 million of outstanding letters of credit commitments as of December 31, 2013.

We refer to transactions described above collectively as the "2014 Financing Transactions." The table below summarizes the cash flow activity for the 2014 Financing Transactions:

•

the issuance of 1.3 million shares of our Series B Preferred Stock to the Teamster-National 401(k) Savings Plan for the benefit of the Company's IBT employees, which were converted into 1.6 million shares of common stock on a post split basis;

•

Under the terms of the New ABL facility, a portion of the Cash to Balance sheet will be classified as "restricted cash" in the consolidated balance sheet.

Following the restructuring, we amended and restated our certificate of incorporation on September 16, 2011 such that, among other things, all of our outstanding Series B Preferred Stock issued in the restructuring automatically converted into shares of our common stock and effected a one-for 300 reverse stock split on December 1, 2011.

The table below summarizes the non-cash activity for the 2014 Financing Transactions:

Restructured Credit Agreement Claims

In connection with the restructuring, we exchanged $305.0 million of amounts due under our prior credit agreement for an aggregate of 3.7 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock and $140.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our Series A Notes. We estimated the fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock to be $43.2 million. We also converted the remaining prior credit agreement borrowings from the revolving credit facility to the restructured term loan, eliminated the unused revolving credit facility capacity and extended the prior credit agreement maturity date to March 31, 2015 for the $307.4 million aggregate principal amount restructured term loan and the $437.0 million letter of credit facility.

Non-Cash Sources (in millions)

Non-Cash Uses (in millions)

In accordance with FASB ASC 470-60, we accounted for this element of the restructuring as a troubled debt restructuring as the Company had been experiencing financial difficulty and the lenders granted a concession to the Company. We assessed the total future cash flows of the restructured debt as compared to the carrying amount of the original debt and determined the total future cash flows to be greater than the carrying amount at the date of the restructuring. As such, the carrying amount was not adjusted and no gain was recorded, consistent with troubled debt restructuring accounting.

The prior credit agreement's carryover basis was allocated to the Prior Term Loan and Series A Notes on a relative fair value basis, after taking into account the Series B Preferred Stock and the conversion feature in the Series A Notes. The difference in the effective interest rates as compared to the stated interest rates for the restructured term loan and Series A Notes is a function of the underlying fair values of the respective instruments, due to the allocation of carryover basis on a relative fair value basis. Fair values of the respective instruments were based on a contemporaneous valuation using an option pricing model, a Level 3 fair value measurement.

Exchange/conversion of Series B Notes to common stock

The fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock was based on a contemporaneous valuation, whereas an estimated enterprise value was first calculated using assumptions related to market multiples of earnings, a market approach which is a Level 3 fair value measurement. The estimated enterprise value was then reduced by the fair value of our debt instruments post-restructuring, with the residual allocated to our Series B Preferred Stock and common stock. See further discussion regarding our Series B Preferred Stock in our "Shareholders' Deficit" footnote to our consolidated financial statements.

Exchange/conversion of Series B Notes to common stock

50.6

The conversion feature embedded in the Series A Notes was required to be bifurcated on the restructuring closing date and separately measured as a derivative liability, as the Company did not have enough authorized and unissued common shares to satisfy conversion of the Series A Notes. We estimated the fair value of the conversion feature based on a contemporaneous valuation using an option pricing model, a Level 3 fair value measurement, and determined the fair value to be $12.4 million.

On September 16, 2011, the Company held a special meeting of shareholders at which the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation was approved and the number of authorized common shares increased to allow for the conversions. This increase provided sufficient authorized common shares to satisfy the conversion feature in the Series A Notes, and thus the conversion feature in the Series A Notes was no longer required to be bifurcated and presented as a derivative liability. The conversion feature was adjusted to a fair value of $26.5 million on September 16, 2011, with the change of $14.1 million recorded as 'Fair value adjustment on derivative liabilities' in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations. The fair value of the conversion feature was then reclassified as an equity-classified derivative within 'Capital surplus' in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

In 2014, we will account for the A&R CDA maturity extension as a debt modification and the remaining transactions as extinguishment of debt and issuance of new debt. We anticipate recording a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $15 million associated with this transaction in the first quarter of 2014. We paid approximately $40 million of fees associated with these transactions of which approximately $25 million will be recorded as unamortized deferred debt costs in “Other assets” in the consolidated balance sheet in the first quarter of 2014 and will be recognized as interest expense over the term of the New Term Loan and New ABL Facility and approximately $15 million will offset the equity proceeds of our stock purchase agreements.

We allocated $15.6 million of professional fees to this element of the restructuring, of which $14.0 million are related to the issuance of the Series A Notes and modifications to the prior credit agreement. Such amount has been recognized as 'Nonoperating restructuring transaction costs' in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations, consistent with troubled debt restructuring accounting. The remaining $1.6 million of professional fees are allocated to the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock and have been recorded as a reduction to 'Capital surplus' in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

$700 Million First Lien Term Loan

Prior ABL Facility and Refinancing of ABS Facility

- Overview: On February 13, 2014, we borrowed in full $700 million, and received in cash less a 1% discount, from a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions arranged by Credit Suisse Securities (USA) and RBS Citizens, N.A. No amounts under this New Term Loan, once repaid, may be reborrowed. Certain material provisions of the New Term Loan are summarized below:

In connection with the restructuring, the Company entered into the Prior ABL Facility, of which the Term A Facility was funded by lenders that did not participate in the ABS Facility and the Term B Facility was funded by one of the ABS Facility lenders. This element of the restructuring was accounted for as an extinguishment of debt and issuance of new debt, for the portion of Prior ABL Facility debt attributed to lenders that did not participate in the ABS Facility. For the portion of the Prior ABL Facility debt attributed to the lender that participated in the ABS Facility, this element of the transaction was being accounted for as an exchange of line-of-credit or revolving-debt arrangements.

- Maturity and Amortization: The New Term Loan matures on February 13, 2019. The New Term Loan will amortize in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 1% of the original principal amount of the New Term Loan commencing on the last day of the first full fiscal quarter ending after the closing date.

As a part of refinancing the ABS Facility, the lenders agreed to forgive accrued interest of $11.3 million and deferred commitment fees of $15.0 million. The forgiveness of the interest and fees along with the write-off of $1.2 million of unamortized deferred debt costs associated with the ABS Facility resulted in the recognition of a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $25.1 million. Such amount has been recognized as '(Gain) loss on extinguishment of debt' in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.

- Incremental: Subject to finding current or new lenders willing to provide such commitments, the Company has the right to incur one or more increases to the New Term Loan and/or one or more new tranches of term loans (which may be unsecured or secured on a junior basis) to be made available under the New Term Loan credit agreement which shall not exceed (i) $250 million so long as the senior secured leverage ratio on a pro forma basis does not exceed 3.25 to 1.0, plus (ii) all voluntary prepayments of the New Term Loan.

We allocated $5.2 million of professional fees to this element of the restructuring. Such costs have been recorded as unamortized deferred debt costs in “Other assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and were recognized as interest expense over the term of the Prior ABL Facility.

- Interest and Fees: The New Term Loan bears interest, at the election of the borrower, at either the applicable London interbank offer rate ("LIBOR") (subject to a floor of 1.00%) plus a margin of 7.00% per annum, or a rate determined by reference to the alternate base rate (the greater of the prime rate established by the administrative agent, the federal fund rate plus 0.50% and one month, LIBOR plus 1.00%) plus a margin of 6.00%.

Restructured Contribution Deferral Agreement

- Guarantors: The obligations of the borrower under the New Term Loan are unconditionally guaranteed by certain wholly owned domestic restricted subsidiaries of the Company (the “Term Guarantors”).

- Collateral: The New Term Loan is secured by a perfected first priority security interest in (subject to permitted liens) substantially all assets of the Company and the guarantors under the New Term Loan (the “Term Guarantors”), except that accounts receivable, cash, deposit accounts and other assets related to accounts receivable are subject to a second priority interest (subject to permitted liens) and certain owned real property securing the obligations under the Second A&R CDA filed January 31, 2014, do not secure the obligations under the New Term Loan credit agreement (the “CDA Collateral”).

In connection with the restructuring, we entered into the A&R CDA with certain multi-employer pension funds to which we contribute. Such amendment, among other things, revised the final maturity date from December 31, 2012 to March 31, 2015 for amounts outstanding at the date of the restructuring, converted accrued interest of $4.5 million at the time of the restructuring to principal, and increased the interest rate for the Central States Pension Fund, which represents 64.3% of the total amount outstanding under the CDA, to 7.5%. The impact of this element of the restructuring on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet was primarily limited to the reclassification of current obligations to non-current liabilities, due to the change in maturity date for all principal to March 31, 2015.

- Mandatory Prepayments: The New Term Loan includes the following mandatory prepayments:

We allocated $3.8 million of professional fees to this element of the restructuring. Such amount has been recognized as 'Nonoperating restructuring transaction costs' in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.

50% of excess cash flow (paid if permitted under the New ABL Facility), subject to step downs to (x) 25% if the total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 but greater than 3.00 to 1.00 and (y) 0% if the total leverage ratio is less than or equal to 3.00 to 1.00.

Series B Notes

•

100% of the net cash proceeds of all asset sales or similar dispositions outside of the ordinary course of business and casualty events (subject to materiality thresholds and customary reinvestment rights)

The conversion feature embedded in the Series B Notes was required to be bifurcated on the restructuring date and separately measured as a derivative liability, as the Company did not have enough authorized and unissued common shares to satisfy conversion of the Series B Notes. We estimated the fair value of the conversion feature based on a contemporaneous valuation using an option pricing model, a Level 3 fair value measurement, and determined the fair value to be $41.7 million.

•

100% of cash proceeds from debt issuances that are not permitted by the New Term Loan documentation.

On September 16, 2011, the Company held a special meeting of shareholders at which the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation was approved and the number of authorized common shares to allow for the conversions. This increase provided sufficient authorized common shares to satisfy the conversion feature in the Series B Notes, and thus the conversion feature in the Series B Notes was no longer required to be bifurcated and presented as a derivative liability. The conversion feature was adjusted to a fair value of $106.8 million on September 16, 2011, with the change of $65.1 million recorded as 'Fair value adjustment on derivative liabilities' in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations. The $106.8 million fair value of the conversion feature was then reclassified as an equity-classified derivative within 'Capital surplus' in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

- Events of Default: The New Term Loan documentation contains certain customary events of default, including but not limited to the failure to make payments due under the New Term Loan, breach of and failure to cure the breach of certain covenants, the entry of a final unpaid judgment against any of the Term Guarantors in excess of $30 million, the commencement of certain insolvency proceedings, liquidations or dissolutions, a cross-default to certain other indebtedness with an outstanding aggregate principal balance of at least $30 million (other than the New ABL Facility), and cross-acceleration to the New ABL Facility.

- Covenants: The New Term Loan contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, covenants restricting the incurrences of debt, liens, the making of investments and repurchases, transactions with affiliates, fundamental changes and asset sales, and prepayments of junior debt. In addition, refer to the "Liquidity" footnote for financial covenants for each of the remaining test periods.

We allocated $2.1 million of professional fees to this element of the restructuring. Such costs have been recorded as unamortized deferred debt costs in “Other assets” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and will be recognized as interest expense over the term of the Series B Notes.

$450 Million ABL Facility

- Overview: On February 13, 2014, we entered into the New ABL Facility which is an asset-based $450 million loan facility from a syndicate of banks arranged by RBS Citizens, N.A., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith and CIT Finance LLC. The New ABL Facility terminates on February 13, 2019 (the “Termination Date”). The Company, YRC Inc., USF Reddaway Inc., USF Holland Inc. and New Penn Motor Express, Inc. are borrowers under the New ABL Facility, and certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries are guarantors thereunder. Certain material provisions of the New ABL Facility are summarized below:

- Availability: The aggregate amount available under the New ABL Facility is subject to a borrowing base equal to the sum of (a) 85% of the sum of (i) eligible accounts minus without duplication (ii) the dilution reserve, plus (b) 100% of eligible borrowing base cash (which constitutes cash that has been deposited from time to time in a restricted account with the agent), minus (c) the deferred revenue reserve (which constitutes 85% of the “deferred revenue liability” as reflected on the balance sheet of the Company and its restricted subsidiaries as of the last day of the most recently completed fiscal month), minus (d) the availability reserve imposed by the agent in its permitted discretion (made in good-faith and using reasonable business judgment). Upon entering the New ABL Facility on February 13, 2014, based upon the availability calculation, the New ABL Facility did not have any borrowing capacity.

- Interest and Fees: Revolving loans made under the New ABL Facility bear interest, at the Company’s election, of either the applicable LIBOR rate plus 2.5% or the base rate (the greater of the prime rate established by the agent, the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and one month LIBOR plus 1.00%) plus 1.5% from the closing date through March 31, 2014. Thereafter, the interest rates will be subject to the following price grid based on the average quarterly excess availability under the revolver:

Average Quarterly

Base Rate

LIBOR

Level

Excess Capacity

2.50%

The rates set forth above are subject to a 0.25% reduction during any fiscal quarter for which the Company has a total leverage ratio of less than 2.50 to 1.00.

- Fees: Fees in respect of the New ABL Facility include: (i) an unused line fee payable quarterly in arrears calculated by multiplying the amount by which the commitments exceed the loans and letters of credit for any calendar quarter by the unused line fee percentage (such unused line fee percentage initially to 0.250% per annum through March 31, 2014, and thereafter 0.375% per annum if the average revolver usage is less than 50% or 0.250% per annum if the average revolver usage is greater than 50%); (ii) fees for the letter of credit facility payable quarterly in arrears which are comprised of the applicable margin in effect for LIBOR loans multiplied by the average daily stated amount of letters of credit; (iii) fronting fees for letters of credit payable quarterly in arrears equal to 0.125% of the stated amount of the letters of credit; (vi) fees to issuing banks to compensate for customary charges related to the issuance and administration of letters of credit; and (v) such fees as set forth in the fee letter arrangement dated as of February 13, 2014 by and between the agent and the Company

- Collateral: The obligations under the New ABL Facility are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in (subject to permitted liens) all accounts receivable, cash, deposit accounts and other assets related to accounts receivable of the Company and the other loan parties and an additional second priority security interest in (subject to permitted liens) substantially all remaining assets of the borrowers and the guarantors other than CDA Collateral.

- Incremental: The New ABL Facility provides for a $100 million uncommitted accordion to increase the revolving commitment in the future to support borrowing base growth.

- Events of Default: The New ABL Facility contains certain customary events of default, including but not limited to the failure to make payments due under the New ABL Facility, breach of and failure to cure the breach of certain covenants, the entry of a final unpaid judgment against any of the New ABL Facility loan parties in excess of $30 million, the commencement of any insolvency proceeding, liquidation or dissolution, and a cross-default to certain other indebtedness with an outstanding aggregate principal balance of at least $30 million (including the New Term Loan).

- Covenants: The New ABL Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants (including certain customary provisions regarding borrowing base reporting, and including, among others, covenants restricting the incurrences of debt, liens, the making of investments and repurchases, transactions with affiliates, fundamental changes and asset sales, and prepayments of junior debt). Certain of the covenants relating to investments, restricted payments and capital expenditures are relaxed upon meeting specified payment conditions or debt repayment conditions, as applicable. Payment conditions include (i) the absence of an event of default arising from such transaction, (ii) liquidity of at least $100 million or availability of at least $67.5 million and (iii) the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the most recent term period on a pro forma basis is equal to or greater than 1.10 to 1.00). Debt repayment conditions include (i) the absence of an event of default from repaying such debt and (ii) availability on the date of repayment is not less than $67.5 million. During any period commencing when the New ABL Facility borrowers fail to maintain availability in an amount at least equal to 10% of the collateral line cap and until the borrowers have maintained availability of at least 10% of the collateral line cap for 30 consecutive calendar days, the New ABL Facility loan parties are required to maintain a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of at least 1.10 to 1.00. The “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” is defined as (a) (i) consolidated adjusted EBITDA for such period, minus (ii) capital expenditures made during such period, minus (iii) the aggregate amount of net cash taxes paid in cash during such period, minus (iv) the amount, if any, by which the cash pension contribution for such period exceeds the pension expense for such period, and plus (v) the amount, if any, by which the pension expense for such period exceeds the cash pension contribution for such period, divided by (b) the consolidated fixed charges for such period. In addition, refer to the "Liquidity" footnote for covenants for each of the remaining test periods.

	Stock Compensation Plans
	We have reserved 2.0 million shares for issuance to key management personnel and directors under the 2011 long-term incentive and equity award plan. As of December 31, 2013, 1.1 million shares remain available for issuance under this plan. The plan permits the issuance of restricted stock and share units, as well as options, stock appreciation rights, and performance stock and performance stock unit awards. Awards under the plan can be satisfied in cash or shares at the discretion of the Board of Directors. According to the plan provisions, the share units provide the holders the right to receive one share of our common stock upon vesting of one share unit. The plan requires the exercise price of any option equal to the closing market price of our common stock on the date of grant.
	Stock Options
	On March 1, 2010, we formalized the Second Union Employee Option Plan that provided for a grant of up to 31,000 options, including the effect of the reverse stock split, to purchase our common stock at an exercise price equal to $3,600.00 per share, of which all have been granted. As a part of the union wage reduction, we agreed to award a certain equity interest to all effected union employees. These options vested immediately, will expire 10 years from the grant date, and were exercisable upon shareholder approval, which was received on June 29, 2010, at our annual shareholder meeting. There has been no activity in these stock options for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
	The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2013:
		Options Outstanding							Options Exercisable
		Shares	Weighted Average Remaining Contractual	Weighted Average			Aggregate		Shares	Weighted Average		Aggregate

	As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there was $4.8 million and $6.4 million, respectively of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements. That expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years. The fair value of nonvested shares is determined based on the closing trading price of our shares on the grant date. The fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was not material.
	The outstanding awards under our stock compensation plans provide dividend participation features and are considered participating securities in our earnings per share calculation.
	Teamster 401(k) Contribution
	On July 22, 2011, the Company delivered into escrow 1.3 million shares of our Series B Preferred Stock, which were delivered from escrow on July 25, 2011, to the Teamster-National 401(k) Savings Plan for the benefit of the Company's IBT employees. The $14.9 million fair value of the1.3 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued was based on a contemporaneous valuation, whereas an estimated enterprise value was first calculated using assumptions related to market multiples of earnings, a market approach which is a level 3 fair value measurement. The estimated enterprise value was then reduced by the fair value of our debt instruments subsequent to our 2011 restructuring, with the residual allocated to our Series B Preferred Stock and common stock. On September 16, 2011, following approval from the shareholders of the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation the number of common shares increased and these preferred shares were automatically converted into 1.6 million shares of common stock.
	This element of the restructuring was accounted for as the grant of a share-based payment award to employees and the $14.9 million charge for the share-based payments has been included in 2011 “Equity based compensation expense” in the accompanying statements of consolidated operations.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]	'
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes
	We use the asset and liability method to reflect income taxes on our financial statements, pursuant to ASC 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities by applying enacted tax rates to the differences between the carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and to loss carryforwards. Tax credit carryforwards are recorded as deferred tax assets. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that the change occurs. We assess the validity of deferred tax assets and loss and tax credit carryforwards and provide valuation allowances when we determine it is more likely than not that such assets, losses, or credits will not be realized. We have not recognized deferred taxes relative to foreign subsidiaries' earnings that are deemed to be permanently reinvested. Any related taxes associated with such earnings are not material.
	Deferred tax liabilities (assets) were comprised of the following at December 31:
	(in millions)	2013			2012
	Depreciation	$	295.2		$	327.8
	Deferred revenue	17.2			12.2
	Intangibles	29.5			36.3
	Gain on debt redemption	64.3			63.9
	Other	54.7			54.7
	Deferred tax liabilities	460.9			494.9
	Claims and insurance	(169.2		)	(179.6		)
	Net operating loss carryforwards	(329.1		)	(298.8		)
	Employee benefit accruals	(237.9		)	(288.9		)
	Other	(176.7		)	(173.6		)
	Deferred tax assets	(912.9		)	(940.9		)
	Valuation allowance	454.1			448.4
	Net deferred tax assets	(458.8		)	(492.5		)
	Net deferred tax liability	$	2.1		$	2.4
	The net deferred tax liability of $2.1 million and $2.4 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, is included as separate line items in the accompanying balance sheets. Current income tax receivable was $20.1 million and $27.3 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is included in “Prepaid expenses and other” in the accompanying balance sheets.
	The Company has carried back the 2013 federal taxable loss to the extent allowed and claimed and received refunds of $14.4 million. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has remaining federal Net Operating Loss carryforwards of approximately $689.1 million, of which, an estimated $298.6 million will not be utilized due to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code regarding the use of tax attributes following deemed ownership changes that occurred in July, 2011 and in July, 2013. Subsequent to the balance sheet date, another such ownership change occurred in January, 2014, in conjunction with the 2014 Financing Transactions described in the "2014 Financing Transactions" footnote. The impact of the 2014 ownership change on the Company’s ability to utilize its Net Operating Loss carryforwards has not yet been determined, but it is not expected to be material. These carryforwards expire between 2028 and 2033 if not used. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has foreign tax credit and other credit carryforwards of approximately $16.9 million, none of which will likely be utilized due to the Internal Revenue Code limitations described above, and which will expire between 2014 and 2018 if not used.
	As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, a valuation allowance of $454.1 million and $448.4 million has been established for deferred tax assets because, based on available sources of future taxable income, it is more likely than not that those assets will not be realized.
	A reconciliation between income taxes at the federal statutory rate and the consolidated effective tax rate follows:
		2013		2012		2011
	Federal statutory rate	35	%	35	%	35	%
	State income taxes, net	(2.4	)%	(1.8	)%	(1.1	)%
	Foreign tax rate differential	(0.1	)%	2.6	%	—	%
	Permanent differences	2	%	8.6	%	(6.3	)%

	Other, net	—	%	0.6	%	6.2	%
	Effective tax rate	35.4	%	9.9	%	2.1	%

	Foreign	23.3			22.3			4.2
	Loss before income taxes	$	(129.5	)	$	(151.5	)	$	(361.9	)
	During 2013, the Company recognized $41.7 million of deferred benefit in the Statement of Consolidated Operations and an equal and offsetting deferred tax expense in other comprehensive income included in the Statement of Consolidated Comprehensive Loss due to the application of intraperiod tax allocation rules under ASC 740.  This allocation has no effect on total tax provision or total valuation allowance.
	Uncertain Tax Positions
	A rollforward of the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31 is as follows:
	(in millions)		2013			2012
	Unrecognized tax benefits at January 1		$	29.7		$	27.1
	Increases related to:
		Tax positions taken during a prior period	1.3			3.6
		Tax positions taken during the current period	0.9			0.9
	Decreases related to:
		Lapse of applicable statute of limitations	(1.2		)	(1.9		)
		Settlements with taxing authorities	(3.1		)	—
	Unrecognized tax benefits at December 31		$	27.6		$	29.7
	At December 31, 2013 and 2012, there are $24.8 million and $25.8 million of benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. We accrued interest of $1.4 million and $2.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and reversed $2.6 million and $5.6 million of previously accrued interest on uncertain tax positions during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 for a net reduction of $1.2 million and $3.4 million for 2013 and 2012. The reversal related primarily to settlements and other favorable resolution of prior uncertain positions. The total amount of interest accrued for uncertain tax positions is $14.5 million and $15.7 million as of as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we paid tax of $1.2 million and interest of $0.8 million to settle certain state and foreign audits of tax years 2001-08 for certain of our subsidiaries and we reduced our previously recorded tax contingency accordingly. We have not accrued any penalties relative to uncertain tax positions. We have elected to treat interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as interest expense and other operating expenses, respectively.
It is reasonably possible that the existing unrecognized tax benefits may decrease over the next twelve months by as much as $21.2 million as a result of developments in examinations and/or litigation, or from the expiration of statutes of limitation.
Tax years that remain subject to examination for our major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2013:
Statute remains open		2005-2012
Tax years currently under examination/exam completed		2005-2012
Tax years not examined		2013

Business Segments	'
	Business Segments
	We report financial and descriptive information about our reportable operating segments on a basis consistent with that used internally for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources to segments. We evaluate performance primarily on operating income and return on invested capital.
	We have the following reportable segments, which are strategic business units that offer complementary transportation services to their customers. YRC Freight includes carriers that provide comprehensive national, regional and international services. Regional Transportation is comprised of carriers that focus primarily on business opportunities in the next-day and regional delivery markets. Truckload consists of Glen Moore, a former domestic truckload carrier. On December 15, 2011, we sold a majority of the assets of Glen Moore to a third party for $18.5 million and ceased the operations. We recognized a $4.6 million loss on the sale of these assets which is included in the Truckload segment for 2011.
	Effective April 1, 2010 until its deconsolidation in the first quarter of 2012, the results of Jiayu are reflected in our consolidated results as part of the Corporate Segment.
	We charge management fees and other corporate services to our segments based upon usage or on an overhead allocation basis. Corporate and other operating losses represent operating expenses of the holding company, including compensation and benefits and professional services for all periods presented. Corporate identifiable assets primarily refer to cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and deferred debt issuance costs as well as our investment in JHJ. Intersegment revenue relates to transportation services between our segments.
	Revenue from foreign sources totaled $139.5 million, $158.3 million, and $186.8 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is largely derived from Canada and Mexico. Long-lived assets located in foreign countries totaled $12.4 million, $14.7 million and $15.5 million at December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Shareholders' Deficit	'
	Shareholders’ Deficit
	The Company designated one of the authorized shares of preferred stock as its Series A Voting Preferred Stock. The Series A Voting Preferred Stock has a $1 liquidation value and entitles the holder to elect two directors to the Company's Board of Directors. The one share of Series A Voting Preferred Stock was issued to the IBT on July 22, 2011 in connection with the restructuring. The Series A Voting Preferred Stock was recorded at its liquidation value.
	The Company designated 4,999,999 of the authorized shares of preferred stock as its Series B Preferred Stock. As part of the 2011 restructuring, we issued an aggregate of 4,999,999 shares of Series B Preferred Stock to satisfy a portion of the outstanding credit agreement claims (3,717,948 shares) and to satisfy our obligation to the IBT for their modifications of the MOU in both 2009 and 2010 (1,282,051 shares). On September 16, 2011, these preferred shares were immediately convertible into our common stock upon effectiveness of the Charter Agreement Merger and increase in authorized common shares. At the date of issuance, the Company did not have sufficient authorized and unissued common shares to satisfy the conversion of all of the Series B Preferred Stock and as such, the Company considered the guidance under ASC Topic 815-40 and determined that conversion was not within the Company's control for the Series B Preferred Stock and therefore classified the Series B Preferred Stock as temporary equity for the period July 22, 2011 through September 16, 2011, at which such time the Series B Preferred Stock converted into common shares.
	The Series B Preferred Stock contained a beneficial conversion feature that was in-the-money on July 22, 2011. The $58.0 million fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock was allocated to this beneficial conversion feature at July 22, 2011, resulting in a discount recorded against the Series B Preferred Stock of $58.0 million, with the offset recorded to 'Capital surplus'. Upon effectiveness of the Charter Agreement Merger and increase in authorized common shares on September 16, 2011, the $58.0 million discount recorded against the Series B Preferred Stock was amortized into 'Accumulated deficit'.
	The amortization of the discount recorded against the Series B Preferred Stock increased the net loss attributable to common shareholders in the calculation of basic and diluted loss per share.
	On September 16, 2011, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Company's capital stock from 85.0 million shares to 10.005 billion shares of which 5.0 million shares are preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share, and 10.0 billion shares are common stock, par value $0.01 per share. On September 16, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State in connection with which the Company's certificate of incorporation was amended and restated.
	On September 16, 2011, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock following the effectiveness of the authorized share increase described above, at a ratio to be determined by the Company's board of directors and within a range of one-for-50 to one-for-300; and reduce the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock by the reverse split ratio.
	The board of directors approved the reverse stock split effective December 1, 2011 at a ratio of 1:300. The reverse stock split was effective on NASDAQ on December 2, 2011. Fractional shares were not issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Fractional shares were collected and pooled by our transfer agent and sold in the open market and the proceeds were allocated to the stockholders' respective accounts pro rata in lieu of fractional shares.
	The following reflects the activity in the shares of our preferred and common stock for the years ended December 31:

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]	'
Loss Per Share	'
	Loss Per Share
	We present both basic and diluted EPS amounts. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. We calculate earnings per share using the two class method where unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are considered participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that treats a participating security as having rights to earnings that would otherwise have been available to common shareholders. Participating securities do not participate in losses and therefore are excluded from the calculation of loss per share.
	In periods with net income, diluted EPS is based upon the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year which is calculated using the treasury stock method for stock options and restricted stock units, the if-converted method for convertible notes, and assumes conversion of our convertible senior notes based on the related fiscal year financial data. In periods with net loss, diluted EPS uses the same shares as basic EPS with no consideration of the if-converted method on the numerator.
	Given our net loss position for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, there are no dilutive securities for these periods. Antidilutive options and share units were 691,000, 771,700 and 302,700 at December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Antidilutive 6% convertible senior note conversion shares, including the make whole premium, were convertible into 17,600 common shares at December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011. Antidilutive Series A convertible note conversion shares were 5,226,000, 4,740,000 and 4,300,000 at December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011. Antidilutive Series B convertible note conversion shares, including the make whole premiums, were 4,219,000, 6,149,000 and 7,261,000 at December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011.

	We incur rental expenses under noncancelable lease agreements for certain buildings and operating equipment. Rental expense is charged to “Operating expense and supplies” or “Purchased transportation” on the accompanying statements of operations. Rental expense was $76.0 million, $78.0 million, and $79.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
	At December 31, 2013, we were committed under noncancelable lease agreements requiring minimum annual rentals payable as follows:
	(in millions)	2014		2015		2016		2017		2018		Thereafter
	Minimum annual rentals	$	56.1	$	41.4	$	22.4	$	16.6	$	12	$	18.1
	We expect in the ordinary course of business that leases will be renewed or replaced as they expire. The leases provide for fixed and escalating rentals and contingent escalating rentals based on the Consumer Price Index not to exceed certain specified amounts. We record rent expense for our operating leases on a straight-line basis over the base term of the lease agreements.
	As of December 31, 2013, we have $2.3 million committed for capital expenditures to be completed during 2014.
	ABF Lawsuit
	On November 1, 2010, ABF Freight System, Inc. (“ABF”) filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas against several parties, including our subsidiaries YRC Inc., New Penn Motor Express, Inc. and USF Holland Inc. and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the local Teamster unions party to the National Master Freight Agreement (“NMFA”) alleging violation of the NMFA due to modifications to the NMFA that provided relief to our subsidiaries without providing the same relief to ABF. The complaint sought to have the modifications to the NMFA declared null and void and damages of $750.0 million from the named defendants. We believe the allegations are without merit.
	On December 17, 2010, the District Court dismissed the complaint. ABF appealed the dismissal on January 18, 2011 to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit. On July 6, 2011, the Court of Appeals vacated the District Court's dismissal of the litigation on jurisdictional grounds and remanded the case back to the District Court for further proceedings. ABF filed an amended complaint on October 12, 2011, containing allegations consistent with the original complaint. Our subsidiaries filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. ABF appealed the dismissal to the Court of Appeals, and, on August 30, 2013, the Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s decision. ABF did not file a petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court, which was due on or before November 29, 2013. Thus, the Court of Appeals’ dismissal of this matter is final.
	Bryant Holdings Securities Litigation
	On February 7, 2011, a putative class action was filed by Bryant Holdings LLC ("Bryant") in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas on behalf of purchasers of our common stock between April 24, 2008 and November 2, 2009, inclusive (the "Class Period"), seeking damages under the federal securities laws for statements and/or omissions allegedly made by us and the individual defendants during the Class Period which plaintiffs claimed to be false and misleading.
	The individual defendants are former officers of our Company. No current officers or directors were named in the lawsuit. The parties participated in voluntary mediation between March 11, 2013 and April 15, 2013. Substantially all of the payments contemplated by the settlement will be covered by our liability insurance. The self-insured retention on this matter has been accrued as of December 31, 2013.
	The settlement agreement requires court approval.  On August 19, 2013, the Court entered an Order denying plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Approval of the Settlement.  Plaintiffs filed an Amended Motion for Preliminary Approval and, on November 18, 2013, the Court denied that Motion.  Each denial was based primarily on deficiencies that the Court perceived in the plan that plaintiffs proposed for allocation of the settlement proceeds among class members.  Plaintiffs have revised the plan of allocation and, on February 18, 2014, filed a Second Amended Motion for Preliminary Approval.
	Other Legal Matters
	We are involved in other litigation or proceedings that arise in ordinary business activities. We insure against these risks to the extent we deem prudent, but no assurance can be given that the nature or amount of such insurance will be sufficient to fully indemnify us against liabilities arising out of pending and future legal proceedings. Many of these insurance policies contain self-insured retentions in amounts we deem prudent. Based on our current assessment of information available as of the date of these financial statements, we believe that our financial statements include adequate provisions for estimated costs and losses that may be incurred within the litigation and proceedings to which we are a party.

	$250,000 per month retainer fee for at least four months plus potential completion fees of $5.5 million.
	Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, we paid MAEVA $3.0 million in monthly retainer fees in 2013, and we paid a $5.5 million completion fee in January 2014 in connection with the completion of the 2014 Financing Transactions. Additionally in February 2014, we paid MAEVA an incremental fee of $3.5 million in recognition of its critical role and performance in designing and leading a series of highly complicated, challenging and interdependent transactions that were critical to the Company's refinancing that led to a capital structure with maturities extended until 2019. Although the Advisory Agreement originally was set to expire on December 31, 2013, management and the Board requested that MAEVA continue to advise the Company and the Board on the various transactions, so we continued to pay the monthly retainer for two additional months while the Financing Transactions remained outstanding. The Advisory Agreement and the fees paid to MAEVA in connection with the 2014 Financing Transactions were approved by the independent members of the board.

Cash and Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less. Under the Company's cash management system, checks issued but not presented to banks frequently result in book overdraft balances for accounting purposes which are classified within accounts payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The change in book overdrafts are reported as a component of operating cash flows for accounts payable as they do not represent bank overdrafts.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other	'
	Concentration of Credit Risks and Other
	We sell services and extend credit based on an evaluation of the customer's financial condition, without requiring collateral. Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's financial condition. We monitor our exposure for credit losses and maintain allowances for anticipated losses.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	For shipments in transit, we record revenue based on the percentage of service completed as of the period end and accrue delivery costs as incurred. The percentage of service completed for each shipment is based on how far along in the shipment cycle each shipment is in relation to standard transit days. Standard transit days are defined as our published service days between origin zip code and destination zip code. Based on historical cost and engineering studies, certain percentages of revenue are determined to be earned during each stage of the shipment cycle, such as initial pick up, long distance transportation, intermediate transfer and customer delivery. Using standard transit times, we analyze each shipment in transit at a particular period end to determine what stage the shipment is in. We apply that stage's percentage of revenue earned factor to the rated revenue for that shipment to determine the revenue dollars earned by that shipment in the current period. The total revenue earned is accumulated for all shipments in transit at a particular period end and recorded as operating revenue.
	In addition, we recognize revenue on a gross basis because we are the primary obligors even when we use other transportation service providers who act on our behalf. We remain responsible to our customers for complete and proper shipment, including the risk of physical loss or damage of the goods and cargo claims issues. We assign pricing to bills of lading at the time of shipment based primarily on the weight, general classification of the product, the shipping destination and individual customer discounts. This process is referred to as rating. At various points throughout our process, incorrect ratings could be identified based on many factors, including weight verifications or updated customer discounts. Although the majority of rerating occurs in the same month as the original rating, a portion occurs during the following periods. We accrue a reserve for rerating based on historical trends.
Uncollectible Accounts	'
	Uncollectible Accounts
	We record an allowance for doubtful accounts primarily based on historical uncollectible amounts. We also take into account known factors surrounding specific customers and overall collection trends. Our process involves performing ongoing credit evaluations of customers, including the market in which they operate and the overall economic conditions. We continually review historical trends and make adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts as appropriate. Our allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $9.3 million and $9.8 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Foreign Currency	'
	Foreign Currency
	Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar, whereas, our foreign operations utilize the local currency as their functional currency. Accordingly, for purposes of translating foreign subsidiary financial statements to the U.S. dollar reporting currency, assets and liabilities of our foreign operations are translated at the fiscal year end exchange rates and income and expenses are translated monthly, at the average exchange rates for each respective month, with changes recognized in other comprehensive loss.
Claims and Insurance Accruals	'
	Claims and Insurance Accruals
	Claims and insurance accruals, both current and long-term, reflect the estimated settlement cost of claims for workers' compensation, cargo loss and damage, and property damage and liability that insurance does not cover. We establish and modify reserve estimates for workers' compensation and property damage and liability claims primarily upon actuarial analyses prepared by independent actuaries. These reserves are discounted to present value using a risk-free rate based on the year of occurrence.
Stock Compensation Plans	'
	Stock Compensation Plans
	We have various stock-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in the "Stock Compensation Plans" footnote to our consolidated financial statements. We recognize compensation costs for non-vested shares and compensation cost for all share-based payments (i.e., options) based on the grant date fair value. Additionally, we recognize compensation cost for all share-based payments granted on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period (generally three to four years) based on the grant-date fair value.
Property and Equipment	'
	We carry property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. We compute depreciation using the straight-line method based on the following service lives:
		Years
	Structures	30-Oct
	Revenue equipment	20-Oct
	Technology equipment and software	7-Mar
	Other	10-Mar
	We charge maintenance and repairs to expense as incurred and betterments are capitalized. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the remaining lease term.
	Our investment in technology equipment and software consists primarily of customer service and freight management equipment and related software.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets	'
	Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
	If facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of held-and-used identifiable amortizable intangibles and property, plant and equipment may be impaired, we perform an evaluation of recoverability in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360. Our evaluation compares the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or asset group to its carrying amount to determine if a reduction to the carrying amount is required. The carrying amount of an impaired asset would be reduced to fair value if the estimated undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset group.
Assets Held for Sale	'
	Assets Held for Sale
	When we plan to dispose of property or equipment by sale, the asset is carried in the financial statements at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value, less cost to sell, and is reclassified to assets held for sale. Additionally, after such reclassification, there is no further depreciation taken on the asset. For an asset to be classified as held for sale, management must approve and commit to a formal plan, the sale should be anticipated during the ensuing year and the asset must be actively marketed, be available for immediate sale, and meet certain other specified criteria. We use level 3 inputs to determine the fair value of each property that is considered as held for sale.
Earnings from Equity Method Investments	'
	Earnings from Equity Method Investments
	We account for the ownership of our joint venture under the equity method and accordingly, recognize our share of the respective joint ventures earnings in “Other nonoperating (income) expense” in the accompanying statements of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	'
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	We determined fair value measurements used in our consolidated financial statements based upon the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
	•	Level 1: Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
	•	Level 2: Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
	•	Level 3: Valuations based on inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
	The asset's or liability's fair value measurement level with the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
	The valuation methodologies described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. We believe that our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants. The use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial assets could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
