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 wholly owned subsidiaries. All 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. For ease of reference, the calendar quarter end dates are used herein. We make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We have prepared the Consolidated Financial Statements, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In our opinion, we have made all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted from these statements pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of our financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 : Fair Value Measurement Hierarchy (in millions) Total Carrying Value Quoted prices in active market (Level 1) Significant other observable inputs (Level 2) Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) Restricted amounts held in escrow-current $ 54.0 $ 54.0 $ — $ — Total assets at fair value $ 54.0 $ 54.0 $ — $ — Restricted amounts held in escrow are invested in money market accounts and are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Equity Method Investment On October 23, 2015, the Company entered into a sale and purchase agreement to sell its fifty percent equity interest in its Chinese joint venture, JHJ International Transportation Co., Ltd. (“JHJ”), for a purchase price of $16.3 million , which subsequently closed on March 30, 2016. At closing, we received proceeds of $16.3 million and paid transaction fees of $1.7 million . As of March 30, 2016, the carrying value of the investment was $22.7 million with an offsetting cumulative foreign translation adjustment of $10.4 million , resulting in a net gain on the transaction of $2.3 million . The gain on the transaction is included in “Nonoperating expenses - Other, net” in the accompanying statement of consolidated comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 . Reclassifications Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 , we reclassified the amortization of our net pension loss totaling $3.9 million and $7.8 million , respectively, net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income (loss). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , we reclassified the amortization of our net pension loss totaling $3.4 million and $6.8 million , respectively, net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income. This reclassification is a component of net periodic pension cost and is discussed in the “Employee Benefits” footnote to the consolidated financial statements. In addition, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , we also reclassified foreign currency translation adjustments of $10.4 million related to our investment in JHJ from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net income, as discussed in the “Equity Method Investment” section above. Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Deferral of the Effective Date, which defers the effective date of ASU 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . The new standard introduces a five-step model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The premise of the new model is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard will be effective for the Company for its annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Entities are allowed to transition to the new standard by either recasting prior periods or recognizing the cumulative effect using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is in the process of reviewing customer contracts, but we believe our transportation revenue recognized under the new standard will generally approximate revenue under current standards, in that we recognize transportation revenue proportionately as we perform the transportation service for our customer. The Company will formalize an assessment, including the impacts of new expanded disclosure requirements, in the second half of 2017 and plans to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of 2018 using the modified retrospective transition approach. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes , which requires entities with a classified balance sheet to present all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The ASU allows entities to choose either prospective or retrospective transition. The Company adopted the standard in the first quarter of 2017 and elected prospective application; accordingly, historical periods were not adjusted. There was no material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases , which requires lessees to recognize a right-to-use asset and a lease obligation for all leases. Lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize an asset and liability for leases with a term of twelve months or less. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, will be required. The new standard will become effective for the Company for its annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period and requires a modified retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cos t, which requires companies to present the service cost component of net benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization in assets. All other components of net benefit cost are presented outside of any subtotal for operating income, if one is presented. The new standard is effective for the Company for its annual reporting period beginning January 1, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is permitted for the first quarter of 2017. Companies are required to present the components of net benefit cost in the income statement retrospectively, while the guidance limiting the capitalization of net periodic benefit cost in assets to the service cost component will be applied prospectively. The Company will adopt the standard in the first quarter of 2018. The Company does not currently capitalize any portion of net benefit cost. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the amount to be reclassified to “Other, net” in nonoperating expenses from “Salaries, wages and employee benefits” in operating expenses is $1.9 million and $3.8 million , respectively, if adopted. Accordingly, the Company does not believe the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

ABL Facility Availability Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings under our ABL Facility and any prospective net cash flow from operations. As of June 30, 2017 , our availability under our ABL Facility was $82.4 million , which is derived by reducing the amount that may be advanced against eligible receivables plus eligible borrowing base cash by certain reserves imposed by the ABL Agent and our $359.7 million of outstanding letters of credit. Of the $82.4 million in availability, we do not expect to access more than $38.2 million (“Managed Accessibility”) based on our springing fixed charge coverage ratio (as set forth in our ABL Facility). Our cash and cash equivalents and Managed Accessibility was $253.4 million as of June 30, 2017 . Term Loan Amendment On July 26, 2017 , the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 (the “Amendment”) to the credit agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) governing our term loan facility (the “Term Loan”), which extended the maturity date to July 26, 2022 subject to the extension of the Secured and Unsecured Second Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement (the “Second A&R CDA”). If the Second A&R CDA is not extended, the maturity date of the Term Loan will spring back to November 1, 2019 . The Amendment provides that the outstanding term loans under the Term Loan Agreement are satisfied and discharged in full and that the Company incurs new term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $600 million . The Amendment increased the annual principal payments from 1% to 3% per annum and increased the applicable interest rate, at either the applicable LIBOR (subject to a floor of 1% ), plus a margin of 8.50% or an alternative base rate (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) plus a margin of 6.50% . In connection with the Amendment, the Company paid $35.2 million in principal and incurred $9.7 million in original issuance discount and an estimated $7.5 million in third party costs. As a result of the extension in the maturity date under the Term Loan, the maturity date of the ABL will extend to June 28, 2021 , as provided under Amendment No. 2 to the ABL, provided the Term Loan’s extension is met through the extension of the Second A&R CDA. Otherwise, the maturity date of the ABL is February 13, 2019 . Credit Facility Covenants The Term Loan Agreement governing our Term Loan has certain financial covenants, as amended on July 26, 2017, that, among other things, restrict certain capital expenditures and require us to comply with a maximum total leverage ratio covenant (defined as Consolidated Total Debt divided by Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as defined below). Our total maximum leverage ratio covenants are as follows: Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending Maximum Total Four Consecutive Fiscal Quarters Ending Maximum Total June 30, 2017 3.85 to 1.00 September 30, 2019 3.25 to 1.00 September 30, 2017 3.75 to 1.00 December 31, 2019 3.00 to 1.00 December 31, 2017 3.50 to 1.00 March 31, 2020 3.00 to 1.00 March 31, 2018 3.50 to 1.00 June 30, 2020 3.00 to 1.00 June 30, 2018 3.50 to 1.00 September 30, 2020 2.75 to 1.00 September 30, 2018 3.50 to 1.00 December 31, 2020 2.75 to 1.00 December 31, 2018 3.50 to 1.00 March 31, 2021 2.75 to 1.00 March 31, 2019 3.25 to 1.00 June 30, 2021 and thereafter 2.50 to 1.00 June 30, 2019 3.25 to 1.00 Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, defined in our Term Loan Agreement as “Consolidated EBITDA,” is 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, restructuring professional fees, non-recurring consulting fees, expenses associated with certain lump sum payments to our union employees and the gains or losses from permitted dispositions and discontinued operations. Consolidated Total Debt, as defined in our Term Loan Agreement, is the aggregate principal amount of indebtedness outstanding. Our total leverage ratio for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2017 was 3.61 to 1.00. We believe that our results of operations will be sufficient to allow us to comply with the covenants in the Term Loan Agreement, fund our operations, increase working capital as necessary to support our planned revenue growth and fund capital expenditures for at least the next twelve months. To maintain compliance with the maximum total leverage ratio over the tenor of the Term Loan and satisfy our liquidity needs, we would have to achieve operating results that reflect a slight improvement to our 2016 Adjusted EBITDA. Means for improving our profitability may include streamlining our support structure, as well as ongoing successful implementation and realization of pricing, productivity and efficiency initiatives, in addition to increased volume, some of which are outside of our control. Fair Value Measurement The book value and estimated fair values of our long-term debt, including current maturities and other financial instruments, are summarized as follows: June 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 (in millions) Book Value Fair value Book Value Fair value Term Loan $ 624.0 $ 622.6 $ 627.2 $ 638.1 Lease financing obligations 264.1 233.8 268.6 259.1 Second A&R CDA 99.9 98.4 101.3 101.8 Total debt $ 988.0 $ 954.8 $ 997.1 $ 999.0 The fair values of the Term Loan and the Second A&R CDA were estimated based on observable prices (level two inputs for fair value measurements). The fair value of the lease financing obligations is estimated using a publicly-traded secured loan with similar characteristics (level three input for fair value measurement). Leases As of June 30, 2017 , our operating lease payment obligations through 2030 totaled $298.8 million and are expected to increase as we lease additional revenue equipment. Additionally, for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , we entered into new operating leases for revenue equipment totaling $13.2 million in future lease payments, payable over an average lease term of five years. Our capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $39.0 million and $47.3 million , respectively. These amounts were principally used to fund the purchase of used tractors and trailers, to refurbish engines for our revenue fleet, and for capitalized costs to improve our technology infrastructure.

Income Taxes	Income Taxes Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was 15.9% and 7.4% , respectively, compared to 14.8% and 16.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , respectively. The significant items impacting the 2017 and 2016 rates include a provision for federal alternative minimum tax, a net state and foreign tax provision, certain permanent items, and a change in the valuation allowance established for the net deferred tax asset balance projected for December 31, 2017 and 2016 . We recognize valuation allowances on deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of the evidence, we determine it is more likely than not such assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances are included in our tax provision in the period of change. In determining whether a valuation allowance is warranted, we evaluate factors such as prior years’ earnings history, expected future earnings, loss carry-back and carry-forward periods, reversals of existing deferred tax liabilities and tax planning strategies that potentially enhance the likelihood of the realization of a deferred tax asset. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , substantially all of our net deferred tax assets were subject to a valuation allowance.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share We calculate basic earnings per share by dividing our net earnings by our weighted-average shares outstanding at the end of the period. The calculation for diluted earnings per share adjusts the weighted average shares outstanding for our dilutive unvested shares and stock units using the treasury stock method. Our calculations for basic and dilutive earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are as follows: Three Months Six Months (dollars in millions, except per share data, shares and stock units in thousands) 2017 2016 2017 2016 Basic and dilutive net income (loss) available to common shareholders $ 19.0 $ 27.1 $ (6.3 ) $ 15.1 Basic weighted average shares outstanding 32,715 32,459 32,642 32,362 Effect of dilutive securities: Unvested shares and stock units 607 395 — 452 Dilutive weighted average shares outstanding 33,322 32,854 32,642 32,814 Basic earnings per share (a) $ 0.58 $ 0.84 $ (0.19 ) $ 0.47 Diluted earnings per share (a) $ 0.57 $ 0.83 $ (0.19 ) $ 0.46 (a) Earnings per share is based on unrounded figures and not the rounded figures presented. At June 30 , 2017 and 2016 , our anti-dilutive unvested shares, options, and stock units were approximately 350,000 and 497,000 , respectively.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segments	Business Segments We report financial and descriptive information about our reporting segments on a basis consistent with that used internally for evaluating segment performance and allocating resources to segments. We evaluate segment performance primarily on external revenue, operating income (loss), and operating ratio. We charge management fees and other corporate service fees to our reporting segments based on the benefits received or an overhead allocation basis. Corporate and other operating losses represent residual operating expenses of the holding company. Corporate identifiable assets primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Intersegment revenue primarily relates to transportation services between our segments. The following table summarizes our operations by business segment: (in millions) YRC Freight Regional Transportation Corporate/ Eliminations Consolidated As of June 30, 2017 Identifiable assets $ 1,077.1 $ 658.3 $ 23.7 $ 1,759.1 As of December 31, 2016 Identifiable assets $ 1,208.7 $ 642.9 $ (81.6 ) $ 1,770.0 Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 External revenue $ 789.5 $ 471.2 $ (0.1 ) $ 1,260.6 Operating income (loss) $ 28.0 $ 25.3 $ (3.3 ) $ 50.0 Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 External revenue $ 1,518.4 $ 913.0 $ (0.2 ) $ 2,431.2 Operating income (loss) $ 17.5 $ 37.5 $ (8.0 ) $ 47.0 Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 External revenue $ 755.0 $ 452.8 $ (0.2 ) $ 1,207.6 Operating income (loss) $ 28.4 $ 30.6 $ (1.8 ) $ 57.2 Six Months Ended June 30, 2016 External revenue $ 1,450.7 $ 877.6 $ (0.4 ) $ 2,327.9 Operating income (loss) $ 32.5 $ 43.0 $ (4.9 ) $ 70.6

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments, Contingencies and Uncertainties	Commitments, Contingencies and Uncertainties California Labor Law Change In October 2015, California adopted new rules governing the payment of piece-rate compensation. New California Labor Code section 226.2 sets forth requirements for the payment of a separate hourly wage for “nonproductive” time worked by piece-rate employees, and separate payment for compensable rest and recovery periods to those employees. The Company continues to assess the impact of this new law and ongoing compliance measures. We believe the possible loss or range of loss is inconsequential to our consolidated financial statements. Other Legal Matters We are involved in litigation or proceedings that arise in ordinary business activities. When possible, 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 consolidated financial statements, we believe that our consolidated 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.
