Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	2. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Yellow and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We report on a calendar year basis. All normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods included herein have been made. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the instructions to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the applicable rules and regulations. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted from these statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“the 2021 Form 10-K”). Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2022 or other reporting periods. Use of Estimates Management makes estimates and assumptions when preparing the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company’s revenue is summarized below with LTL shipments defined as shipments less than 10,000 pounds that move in our network: Three Months Nine Months (in millions) 2022 2021 2022 2021 LTL revenue $ 1,224.1 $ 1,170.5 $ 3,636.5 $ 3,436.8 Other revenue (a) 136.3 130.9 408.0 376.1 Total revenue $ 1,360.4 $ 1,301.4 $ 4,044.5 $ 3,812.9 (a) Other revenue is primarily com prised of truckload shipments by the L TL operating companies. Accounting Standards While there are recently issued accounting standards that are applicable to the Company, none of these standards are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

(c) Variable interest rate based on the Eurodollar rate, which is currently determined by the 1, 3 or 6-month USD LIBOR, with a floor of 1.0 %, plus a fixed margin of 7.5 %. (d) Interest rate for lease financing obligations is derived from the difference between total rent payment and calculated principal amortization over the life of lease agreements. Maturities The principal maturities over the next five years and thereafter of total debt as of September 30, 2022 are as follows: (in millions) Principal Maturity Amount 2022 - remaining portion $ 67.1 2023 5.7 2024 1,326.2 2025 4.0 2026 0.6 Thereafter 199.1 Total $ 1,602.7 Fair Value Measurement The book value and estimated fair values of our long-term debt, including current maturities, are summarized as follows: September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 (in millions) Book Value Fair Value Book Value Fair Value UST Loans $ 693.4 $ 678.2 $ 673.3 $ 636.5 Term Loan 585.8 600.7 590.9 612.9 Second A&R CDA 66.0 66.0 66.5 66.6 Lease financing obligations 214.8 210.5 223.8 223.7 Total debt $ 1,560.0 $ 1,555.4 $ 1,554.5 $ 1,539.7 The fair values of the Term Loan and Second A&R CDA are estimated based on observable prices (level two inputs for fair value measurements). The fair value of the UST Loans is estimated using certain inputs that are unobservable (level three input for fair value measurement), which are based on the discounted amount of future cash flows using our current estimated incremental rate of borrowing for similar liabilities or assets. The lease financing obligations are unique to the Company, and the fair value is estimated using a publicly traded secured loan with similar characteristics (level three input for fair value measurement).

Employee Benefits	5. Employee Benefits Non-Union Pension Plans The following table presents the primary components of net periodic pension expense (benefit) for our Company-sponsored pension plans: Three Months Nine Months (in millions) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Interest cost $ 5.9 $ 7.7 $ 17.7 $ 23.0 Expected return on plan assets ( 8.5 ) ( 12.0 ) ( 25.5 ) ( 36.0 ) Amortization of prior net losses 2.2 3.0 6.6 9.1 Amortization of prior net service credit ( 0.1 ) ( 0.1 ) ( 0.3 ) ( 0.3 ) Settlement adjustment 4.0 3.1 4.0 3.4 Total net periodic pension expense (benefit) $ 3.5 $ 1.7 $ 2.5 $ ( 0.8 ) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, net periodic pension expense included non-union pension settlement charges of $ 4.0 million. The $ 4.0 million pension settlement charge for the Yellow Corporation Pension Plan (the "Yellow Plan") was triggered due to the amount of lump sum benefit payments distributed from plan assets in 2022. The lump sum benefit payments reduce pension obligations and are funded from existing pension plan assets and therefore do not impact the Company’s cash balance. As a result of this settlement, the Company was required to remeasure the Yellow Plan as of August 31, 2022. Plan assets specific to the Yellow Plan decreased by $ 78.7 million as a result of smaller than expected return on plan assets held in a master trust over our three pension plans. Plan liabilities decreased by $ 58.5 million largely due to increasing discount rates. The net impact of the remeasurement resulted in a change in the Yellow Plan funded status from a net liability of $ 36.8 million as of December 31, 2021 to a net liability of $ 57.0 million as of September 30, 2022. The other two plans held in the same master trust, the Roadway LLC Pension Plan and the YRC Retirement Pension Plan, did not trigger a similar settlement charge and will be remeasured on December 31, 2022.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	6. Earnings (Loss) Per Share We calculate basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing our net income (loss) available to common shareholders by our basic weighted-average shares outstanding. The calculation for diluted earnings (loss) 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 (loss) per share for three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 are as follows: Three Months Nine Months (dollars in millions, except per share data; shares and stock units in thousands) 2022 2021 2022 2021 Basic and dilutive net income (loss) available to common shareholders $ 4.8 $ 8.3 $ 37.3 $ ( 64.4 ) Basic weighted average shares outstanding 51,448 50,868 51,295 50,661 Effect of dilutive securities: Unvested shares and stock units (a) 898 950 922 — Dilutive weighted average shares outstanding 52,346 51,818 52,217 50,661 Basic earnings (loss) per share (b) $ 0.09 $ 0.16 $ 0.73 $ ( 1.27 ) Diluted earnings (loss) per share (b) $ 0.09 $ 0.16 $ 0.72 $ ( 1.27 ) (a) Includes unvested shares of Common Stock, unvested stock units and vested stock units for which the underlying Common Stock has not been distributed. (b) Earnings (loss) per share is based on unrounded figures and not the rounded figures presented. Given our net losses incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we do not report dilutive securities for this period. At September 30, 2022 and 2021, our anti-dilutive unvested shares, options, and stock units were approximately 647,000 and 180,000 , respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments, Contingencies and Uncertainties	7. Commitments, Contingencies and Uncertainties 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.
