Exhibit 99.2
Certain information provided by Yellow Roadway Corporation pursuant to Regulation FD
As used in this document, references to “Yellow Roadway”, the “company”, “we”, “our” and “us” refer to Yellow Roadway Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. The term “USF” refers to USF Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. The term “merger” means the merger between USF and a subsidiary of Yellow Roadway pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 27, 2005, and as amended as of May 1, 2005, between Yellow Roadway, Yankee II LLC and USF. The term “notes offering” refers to the private offering of $150 million of Yellow Roadway’s senior floating rate notes.
Proposed Financing
We currently have in place a $450 million receivables financing facility secured by certain receivables of Yellow Transportation and Roadway Express (“ABS Facility”). It is contemplated that at the effective time of the merger the aggregate amounts available under the ABS Facility will be increased to $650 million. On May 19, 2005, we amended and restated our senior unsecured revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) to provide a revolving loan up to the maximum limit of $850 million. We expect that the cash portion of the merger consideration and our capital and liquidity needs (including refinancing of certain existing indebtedness of Yellow Roadway and USF) will be financed with a combination of proceeds from the sale of the Notes offered hereby, borrowings under the ABS Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility and cash on hand.
In addition to the proposed ABS Facility financing, following consummation of the USF merger, USF and its subsidiaries will continue to be obligated on USF’s $150 million aggregate principal amount of 8.5% senior notes due April 15, 2010, and USF’s $100 million aggregate principal amount of 6.5% senior notes due May 1, 2009. Following consummation of the merger, Yellow Roadway will provide a parent guarantee of both series of notes.
UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA
The following unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements and explanatory notes have been prepared to give effect to the proposed merger and the related financing transactions, including the notes offering. At the effective time of the proposed merger, Yankee II LLC, a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of Yellow Roadway, will be merged with and into USF, with USF as the surviving entity. As a result of the merger, USF will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Yellow Roadway. The transaction is being accounted for as a purchase business combination.
Upon the effectiveness of the proposed merger, each share of USF stock (except those shares owned directly or indirectly by USF or Yellow Roadway and those shares held by dissenting stockholders) will be converted into the right to receive 0.31584 shares of Yellow Roadway common stock and $29.25 in cash.
In accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933, an unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2005 and an unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and for the year ended December 31, 2004 have been prepared to reflect the proposed merger (treated as an acquisition of USF) and the consummation of the related financing transactions, including the notes offering. The following unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements have been prepared based upon historical financial statements of Yellow Roadway and USF. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements reflect certain balance sheet and statement of operations reclassifications made to conform USF’s presentations to those of Yellow Roadway. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with:
| • | | Yellow Roadway’s historical audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, and its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2005; and |
| • | | USF’s historical audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 and its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of April 2, 2005 and for the quarter ended April 2, 2005 included in the USF Annual Report and the USF Quarterly Report. |
The unaudited condensed combined pro forma balance sheet was prepared by combining Yellow Roadway’s historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2005 and USF’s historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet as of April 2, 2005, adjusted to reflect the proposed merger and the consummation of the related financing transactions, including the notes offering, as if each had occurred on March 31, 2005.
The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations was prepared using the historical consolidated statement of operations for both Yellow Roadway and USF assuming the proposed merger and related financing transactions, including the notes offering, had each occurred on January 1, 2004. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 was prepared by combining the historical audited consolidated statement of operations of Yellow Roadway and the historical audited consolidated statement of income of USF for the year ended December 31, 2004. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was prepared by combining the historical unaudited consolidated statement of operations of Yellow Roadway for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and the historical unaudited consolidated statement of income of USF for the quarter ended April 2, 2005. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma statements of operations give effect to the costs associated with financing the proposed merger, including interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs associated with our currently contemplated financing transactions, including the notes offering, related to the proposed merger, and the impact of other purchase accounting adjustments.

The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements are prepared for illustrative purposes only, and do not purport to represent, and are not necessarily indicative of, the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the merger transaction described above had been consummated at the beginning of the period or the date indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of any future operating results or financial position. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements do not include any adjustments related to any restructuring charges, profit improvements, potential cost savings or one-time charges which may result from the proposed merger or the result of final valuations of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities.
The process of valuing USF’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities as well as evaluating accounting policies for conformity, including accounting policies related to claims and insurance accruals, is still in the preliminary stages. Material revisions to our current estimates could be necessary as the valuation process and accounting policy review are finalized. Following closing of the proposed merger, we will finalize the process of determining the fair value at the date of acquisition of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of USF. As a result of this process, we anticipate that a portion of the amount classified as goodwill in the unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements, which in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 will not be amortized, will be reclassified to the tangible and identified intangible assets and liabilities acquired, based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. These tangible and identified intangible assets will be depreciated and amortized over their estimated useful lives. As a result, the actual amount of depreciation and amortization expense may be materially different from that presented in the unaudited condensed combined pro forma statement of operations and the effects cannot be quantified at this time.
The merger and the related financing transactions, including the notes offering, had not been consummated as of the preparation of these unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED COMBINED PRO FORMA
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) | The process of valuing USF’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities as well as evaluating accounting policies for conformity, including accounting policies related to claims and insurance accruals, is still in the preliminary stages. Material revisions to our current estimates could be necessary as the valuation process and accounting policy review are finalized. These unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements do not purport to represent, and are not necessarily indicative of, the operating results or financial position that would have occurred had the proposed merger and related financings been consummated at the date indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results. |
The purchase price is estimated as follows (in thousands, except per share data):
Merger consideration of approximately $1.3 billion, based on 0.31584 shares of Yellow Roadway common stock and $29.25 in cash for each USF share. For purchase accounting purposes, the Yellow Roadway common stock component of the merger consideration was valued at $49.68 per share, which represents the simple average of the daily opening and closing trade prices for the period from April 28, 2005 through May 3, 2005, the period immediately surrounding the date of the announcement of the amended merger.

| ** | Goodwill reflects the preliminary estimated adjustment for the costs in excess of net tangible assets of USF at estimated fair value. Subsequent to closing of the merger, we will be completing a study to determine the allocation of the total purchase price to the various tangible and intangible assets acquired and the liabilities assumed in order to allocate the purchase price. Management believes, on a preliminary basis, there may be intangible assets that will be assigned a fair value in the purchase price allocation. The sensitivity of the valuations regarding the above can be significant. Accordingly, as we conclude our evaluation of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed upon closing of the acquisition, allocation of the purchase price among the tangible and intangible assets will be subject to change. Any such change also may impact results of operations. |
