Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Accounting Policies	2. Accounting Policies 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. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of YRC Worldwide and its wholly 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. 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. 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, 2019, approximately 79% of our labor force is subject to collective bargaining agreements. In 2019, we agreed to a new labor agreement that, among other things, extend the expiration date of our primary labor agreement from March 31, 2019 to March 31, 2024. This also updated the contribution rates under our multi-employer pension plan. The new agreement provided for wage and benefits increases through the term of the agreement. Finally, the new agreement provided for certain changes to work rules and our use of purchased transportation in certain situations. Revenue Recognition and Revenue-related Reserves The Company’s revenues are derived from the transportation services we provide through the delivery of goods over the duration of a shipment. Upon receipt of the bill of lading, the contract existence criteria is met as evidenced by a legally enforceable agreement between two parties where collectability is probable, thus creating the distinct performance obligation. The Company has elected to expense initial direct costs as incurred because the average shipment cycle is less than one week. The YRC Freight and Regional Transportation segments recognize revenue and substantially all the purchased transportation expense on a gross basis because we direct the use of the transportation service provided and remain responsible for the complete and proper shipment. Inherent within our revenue recognition practices are estimates for revenue associated with shipments in transit and future adjustments to revenue and accounts receivable for billing adjustments and collectability. 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. For the reserve for uncollectible accounts, we primarily use historical write-off experience but may also consider customer-specific factors, overall collection trends and economic conditions as part of our ongoing monitoring of credit. 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 customer specific factors and make adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts as appropriate. Our allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $11.4 million and $11.1 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Given the nature of our transportation services, future adjustments may arise which creates variability when establishing the transaction price used to recognize revenue. We have a high volume of performance obligations with similar characteristics, therefore we primarily use historical trends to arrive at estimated reserves. For rerate reserves, which are common for LTL carriers, 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 and commodity verifications. Although the majority of rerating occurs in the same month as the original rating, a portion occurs during subsequent periods. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, our financial statements included a rerate reserve as a reduction to “Accounts Receivable” of $7.9 million and $12.5 million, respectively. For shipments in transit, we record revenue based on the percentage of service completed as of the period end and recognize 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. The total revenue earned is accumulated for all shipments in transit at a particular period end and recorded as operating revenue. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, our financial statements included deferred revenue as a reduction to “Accounts Receivable” of $25.2 million and $25.7 million, respectively. Beginning January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue Disaggregation We considered the disclosure requirements for revenue disaggregation guidance in ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers YRC Freight segment (in millions) 2019 2018 LTL revenue $ 2,841.0 $ 2,948.1 Other revenue 247.7 249.2 Total revenue 3,088.7 3,197.3 Regional Transportation segment (in millions) 2019 2018 LTL revenue $ 1,653.0 $ 1,742.5 Other revenue 129.7 152.5 Total revenue 1,782.7 1,895.0 Consolidated (in millions) 2019 2018 LTL revenue $ 4,494.0 $ 4,690.6 Other revenue 377.2 401.4 Total revenue 4,871.2 5,092.0 Self-Insurance Accruals for Claims Claims and insurance accruals, both current and long-term, reflect the estimated settlement cost of claims for workers’ compensation, property damage and liability claims (also referred to as third-party liability claims), and cargo loss and damage that insurance does not cover. We establish and modify reserve estimates for workers’ compensation and property damage and liability claims primarily based 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 2.0%, 2.6% and 1.5% for workers’ compensation claims incurred as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The rate was 2.1%, 2.5% and 1.3% for property damage and liability claims incurred as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, 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. Expected aggregate undiscounted amounts and material changes to these amounts related to workers’ compensation and property damage and liability claims as of December 31 are presented below: (in millions) Workers’ Compensation Third-Party Liability Claims Total Undiscounted amount at December 31, 2017 $ 299.3 $ 70.5 $ 369.8 Estimated settlement cost for 2018 claims 95.9 40.0 135.9 Claim payments, net of recoveries (92.4 ) (36.2 ) (128.6 ) Change in estimated settlement cost for prior claim years (15.0 ) (0.7 ) (15.7 ) Undiscounted settlement cost estimate at December 31, 2018 $ 287.8 $ 73.6 $ 361.4 Estimated settlement cost for 2019 claims 103.3 35.2 138.5 Claim payments, net of recoveries (95.9 ) (36.1 ) (132.0 ) Change in estimated settlement cost for prior claim years (9.6 ) 1.1 (8.5 ) Undiscounted settlement cost estimate at December 31, 2019 $ 285.6 $ 73.8 $ 359.4 Discounted settlement cost estimate at December 31, 2019 $ 262.2 $ 73.4 $ 335.6 In addition to the amounts above, accrued settlement cost amounts for cargo claims and other insurance related amounts, none of which are discounted, totaled $13.7 million and $13.9 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Estimated cash payments to settle claims which were incurred on or before December 31, 2019, for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: (in millions) Workers’ Compensation Third-Party Liability Claims Total 2020 $ 78.3 $ 33.5 $ 111.8 2021 50.1 17.9 68.0 2022 33.3 11.4 44.7 2023 22.0 5.8 27.8 2024 16.4 2.6 19.0 Thereafter 85.5 2.6 88.1 Total $ 285.6 $ 73.8 $ 359.4 Equity-Based Compensation We have various equity-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in the “Equity-Based Compensation Plans” footnote to our consolidated financial statements. We recognize compensation costs for non-vested shares based on the grant date fair value. For our equity grants, with no performance requirement, we recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period (generally three years) based on the grant-date fair value. For our performance-based awards, the Company expenses the grant date fair value of the awards which are probable of being earned in the performance period over the respective service period. Property and Equipment The following is a summary of the components of our property and equipment at cost as of December 31: (in millions) 2019 2018 Land $ 239.9 $ 243.7 Structures 788.4 791.3 Revenue equipment 1,228.2 1,257.4 Technology equipment and software 291.7 259.7 Other (a) 213.4 213.8 Total property and equipment, at cost $ 2,761.6 $ 2,765.9 (a) Other consists of miscellaneous equipment used in field operations. 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 10 - 30 Revenue equipment 10 - 20 Technology equipment and software 3 - 7 Other 3 - 10 We charge maintenance and repairs to expense as incurred and betterments are capitalized. The cost of replacement tires is expensed at the time those tires are placed into service, as is the case with other repair and maintenance costs. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the remaining lease term. In addition to purchasing new revenue equipment, we also rebuild the engines of our tractors (at certain time or mile intervals). Because rebuilding an engine increases its useful life, we capitalize these costs and depreciate over the remaining useful life of the unit. The cost of engines on newly acquired revenue equipment is capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related equipment. Our investment in technology equipment and software consists primarily of freight movement, automation, administrative, and related software. The Company capitalizes certain costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Capitalizable costs include external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining the software and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees directly associated with the development of the project. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, depreciation expense was $150.5 million, $145.9 million and $147.7 million, respectively. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators are present and the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the long-lived assets, the carrying value would be reduced to the estimated fair value. Future cash flow estimates for an impairment review would be based on the lowest level of identifiable cash flows, which are at the operating company level. Fair Value of Financial Instruments From time to time, we hold financial assets held at fair value, which consists of restricted cash held in escrow. Restricted amounts held in escrow are invested in money market accounts and are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices and have typically been level 1 fair value assets. Assets are considered level 1 if their valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had no restricted amounts held in escrow. 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. The fair value of our long-term debt is included in the “Debt and Financing” footnote to the consolidated financial statements. Newly-Adopted Accounting Standards In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases The Company elected the package of three practical expedients which allows entities to not reassess initial direct costs, lease classification for existing or expired leases, and lease definition for existing or expired contracts as of the effective date of January 1, 2019. Additionally, the Company did not elect the hindsight method practical expedient which would have allowed us to reassess lease terms and impairment. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, the Company has made an accounting policy election in which the right of use lease (“ROU”) asset and lease liability will not be recognized on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components for its revenue equipment and real property leases. The Company reassessed the accounting for debt financing obligations under the new standard and determined the historical accounting remained appropriate under the new standard. The adoption of this standard impacted our consolidated balance sheet through the recognition of $378.8 million in ROU assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2019. Lease deposits in the amount of $25.4 million were reclassified from “Other assets” to a reduction of “Operating lease liabilities” per the consolidated balance sheet upon adoption of the new standard. The new standard did not impact the calculation of our financial covenants defined under the terms of our credit agreements. See the “Leases” footnote to the consolidated financial statements for additional information. Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses . The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on our financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software , that aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020, but the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements during 2020. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes. ginning after December 15, 2020, . The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Employee Benefits

Employee Benefits	12 Months Ended

Compensation And Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Employee Benefits	4. Employee Benefits Qualified and Nonqualified Defined Benefit Pension Plans YRC Worldwide and certain of our operating subsidiaries sponsor qualified and nonqualified defined benefit pension plans for certain employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements (approximately 9,000 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 contributory 401(k) savings plans, as discussed below. The domestic 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. Funded Status The reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the projected benefit obligation and the fair value of plan assets for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the funded status at December 31, 2019 and 2018, is as follows: (in millions) 2019 2018 Change in benefit obligation: Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 1,073.2 $ 1,228.4 Interest cost 45.7 44.1 Benefits paid (96.7 ) (110.4 ) Actuarial (gain) loss 106.5 (88.5 ) Other 0.1 (0.4 ) Benefit obligation at year end $ 1,128.8 $ 1,073.2 Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at prior year end $ 874.9 $ 998.3 Actual return on plan assets 112.1 (27.8 ) Employer contributions 9.7 15.2 Benefits paid (96.7 ) (110.4 ) Other — (0.4 ) Fair value of plan assets at year end $ 900.0 $ 874.9 Funded status at year end $ (228.8 ) $ (198.3 ) The underfunded status of the plans of $228.8 million and $198.3 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, is recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as shown in the table below. No plan assets are expected to be returned to the Company during the year ending December 31, 2020. Our long-term strategy is to reduce the risk of our plans and improve the funded status. In 2017, the Company amended the domestic pension plans to provide an automatic commencement of benefit at age 65, regardless of employment status, in an effort to reduce our long-term pension obligations and ongoing annual pension expense. At the same time, the Yellow Transportation Plan was amended to permit the payment of lump sum benefit payments for those participants who reached age 65. Effective January 1, 2018, the Yellow Transportation Plan was amended to permit the payment of lump sum benefit payments for all participants. The impact of these amendments to the benefit obligation is reflected in “Plan amendments” in the above table. These amendments triggered non-cash settlement charges of $10.9 million and $7.6 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively, due to the amount of lump sum benefit payments distributed from plan assets. The lump sum benefit payments reduce pension obligations and are funded from existing plan assets. The non-cash settlement charge results from the requirement to expense the unrecognized actuarial losses associated with the lump sum settlements, which are reflected in nonoperating expenses. The charge had no effect on total equity because the actuarial losses were already recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Accordingly, the effect on retained earnings was offset by a corresponding reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss. In 2019, the closure of a small plan for Canadian employees resulted in lump sum benefit payments and annuity purchase premium transfers. These payments triggered a non-cash settlement charge of $1.8 million. Like previous non-cash settlement charges, this was reflected in nonoperating expenses, with a corresponding offset in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Benefit Plan Obligations Amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets for pension benefits at December 31 are as follows: (in millions) 2019 2018 Noncurrent assets $ 6.1 $ 2.7 Current liabilities 1.0 0.8 Noncurrent liabilities 233.9 200.2 Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31 consist of: (in millions) 2019 2018 Net actuarial loss $ 406.1 $ 368.9 Net prior service credit (9.8 ) (10.3 ) Total $ 396.3 $ 358.6 As shown above, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2019, are unrecognized actuarial losses of $396.3 million ($372.1 million, net of tax). The expected amortization of actuarial loss and net prior service credit included in accumulated other comprehensive loss and expected to be recognized in net periodic cost in 2020 is $15.0 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Information for pension plans with an accumulated benefit obligation (“ABO”) in excess of plan assets and plan assets that exceed ABO at December 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows: At December 31, 2019 (in millions) ABO Exceeds Assets Assets Exceed ABO Total Projected benefit obligation $ 960.9 $ 167.9 $ 1,128.8 Accumulated benefit obligation 960.9 167.9 1,128.8 Fair value of plan assets 726.0 174.0 900.0 At December 31, 2018 (in millions) ABO Exceeds Assets Assets Exceed ABO Total Projected benefit obligation $ 927.6 $ 145.6 $ 1,073.2 Accumulated benefit obligation 927.6 145.6 1,073.2 Fair value of plan assets 726.6 148.3 874.9 Assumptions Weighted average actuarial assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at December 31: 2019 2018 Discount rate 3.56 % 4.44 % Weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for the years ended December 31: 2019 2018 2017 Discount rate 4.44 % 3.77 % 4.27 % Expected rate of return on assets 7.0 % 7.0 % 7.0 % Mortality table (a) Pri-2012 (MP-2019 Scale, Custom) RP-2014 (MP-2016 Scale, Custom) RP-2014 (MP-2016 Scale, Custom) (a) The 2019, 2018 and 2017 mortality tables were based on a custom mortality improvement scale to reflect expectations of underlying plan participants. 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 or are similar to 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, 2019 and 2018, and targeted long-term asset allocation for the plans are as follows: 2019 2018 Target Equities 33.0 % 39.0 % 38.0 % Debt Securities 30.0 % 24.0 % 30.0 % Absolute Return 37.0 % 37.0 % 32.0 % Based on various market factors, we selected an expected rate of return on assets of 7.0% effective for the 2019 and 2018 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 $31.5 million to our single-employer pension plans in 2020. Expected benefit payments from our qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans for each of the next five years and the total benefit payments for the following five years ended December 31 are as follows: (in millions) 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025-2029 Expected benefit payments $ 89.4 $ 85.8 $ 84.3 $ 80.6 $ 80.1 $ 370.1 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 (income) for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were as follows: (in millions) 2019 2018 2017 Net periodic benefit cost: Service cost $ — $ — $ 5.4 Interest cost 45.7 44.1 51.1 Expected return on plan assets (57.3 ) (60.0 ) (59.3 ) Amortization of prior net losses 12.8 14.6 15.5 Amortization of prior net service credit (0.4 ) (0.4 ) — Settlement adjustment 1.8 10.9 7.6 Net periodic pension cost $ 2.6 $ 9.2 $ 20.3 Other changes in plan assets and benefit obligations recognized in other comprehensive loss (income): Net actuarial gains (losses) and other adjustments $ 51.9 $ (0.9 ) $ (43.7 ) Net prior service credit — — (10.7 ) Settlement adjustment (1.8 ) (10.9 ) (7.6 ) Amortization of prior net losses (12.8 ) (14.6 ) (15.5 ) Amortization of prior net service credit 0.4 0.4 — Total recognized in other comprehensive loss (income) 37.7 (26.0 ) (77.5 ) Total recognized in net periodic benefit cost and other comprehensive loss (income) $ 40.3 $ (16.8 ) $ (57.2 ) During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 the income tax expense (benefit) related to amounts in other comprehensive (income) loss was $(0.3) million, $(0.1) million and $13.3 million, respectively. 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 fair value of Level 1 assets are based on quoted market prices. The majority of the Level 1 assets presented in the table below include common stock of both U.S. and, to a lesser extent, international companies, and mutual funds, which are actively traded and priced in the market. The fair value of Level 2 assets are based on other significant observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities. The Level 2 assets presented in the below table consist primarily of fixed income and absolute return funds where values are based on the quoted prices of similar securities and observable market data. Level 3 assets are those where the fair value is determined based on unobservable inputs. The Level 3 assets consist primarily of private equities, and the assets are either priced at cost less cash distributions for recent asset purchases, third-party valuations or discounted cash flow methods. Assets that are not considered Level 1, 2 or 3 assets are valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) of the underlying investments held, as determined by the fund managers. The methods and assumptions used by third-party pricing sources may include a variety of factors, such as recently executed transactions, existing contracts, economic conditions, industry or market developments, and overall credit ratings. These estimated fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for these investments existed and as such, differences could be material. The availability of observable data is monitored by plan management to assess appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Depending upon the availability of such inputs, specific securities may transfer between levels. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the end of the reporting period. The tables below detail by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the pension assets at fair value as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018: Pension Assets at Fair Value as of December 31, 2019 (in millions) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Equities $ 67.0 $ 66.6 $ 0.4 $ — Private equities 36.4 — — 36.4 Fixed income: Corporate and other 29.0 2.2 18.4 8.4 Government 204.2 53.3 150.9 — Interest bearing 27.2 15.0 12.2 — Investments measured at NAV (a) 536.2 Total plan assets $ 900.0 $ 137.1 $ 181.9 $ 44.8 Pension Assets at Fair Value as of December 31, 2018 (in millions) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Equities $ 67.7 $ 65.5 $ 2.2 $ — Private equities 43.4 — — 43.4 Fixed income: Corporate and other 24.8 7.7 16.2 0.9 Government 177.1 67.2 109.9 — Interest bearing 25.1 (10.5 ) 35.6 — Investments measured at NAV (a) 536.8 Total plan assets $ 874.9 $ 129.9 $ 163.9 $ 44.3 (a) Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the NAV per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy.

(d) Consists of investments in global markets, including derivative securities of equity and fixed income indexes, commodities and interest rates. The following table sets forth a summary of the assets for which a reported NAV is used to estimate the fair value as of December 31, 2018: Fair value estimated using Net Asset Value per Share (in millions) Fair Value Unfunded Commitments Redemption Frequency Redemption Notice Period Private equities (a) $ 155.2 $ 2.8 Redemptions not permitted Fixed income (b) 189.2 0.5 Redemptions not permitted Equities (c) 84.0 — Monthly 3-30 days Absolute return (d) 108.4 — Monthly, Quarterly 2-45 days Total $ 536.8 (a) Consists of private equity investments in pharmaceuticals and companies primarily in the technology and healthcare sectors.

(d) Consists of investments in global markets, including derivative securities of equity and fixed income indexes, commodities and interest rates. Generally, the investment strategy for private equities consists of direct investments or investments through limited partnerships with managers who purchase interests in non-public companies. The typical 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 an absolute return rate. Multi-Employer Plans YRC Freight, Holland, Reddaway, and New Penn contribute to various separate multi-employer health, welfare and pension plans for employees that are covered by our collective bargaining agreements (approximately 79% of total employees of YRC Worldwide and its subsidiaries). 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 retirement benefits to retired participants. We recognize multi-employer 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 the multi-employer plans to which we contribute. 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) 2019 2018 2017 Health and welfare $ 503.5 $ 499.3 $ 482.6 Pension 127.6 115.5 98.1 Total $ 631.1 $ 614.8 $ 580.7 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, 2019: Expiration Date Funding of Collective- Pension Protection Zone Status (b) Improvement or Employer Bargaining Pension Fund (a) EIN Number 2019 2018 Rehabilitation Plan Surcharge Imposed Agreement Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund 36-6044243 Critical and Declining Critical and Declining Yes No 3/31/2024 Teamsters National 401(k) Savings Plan (c) 52-1967784 N/A N/A N/A No 3/31/2024 Road Carriers Local 707 Pension Fund 51-6106510 Critical and Declining Critical and Declining Yes No 3/31/2024 Teamsters Local 641 Pension Fund 22-6220288 Critical and Declining Critical and Declining Yes No 3/31/2024 (a) The determination of individually significant multi-employer plans is based on our contributions to the plans relative to our total contributions over the periods presented, as well as our contributions to the plans relative to the total contributions that the individual plans received during the periods presented. (b) The Pension Protection Zone Status indicated herein is based on information that the Company obtained from the plans’ Forms 5500. Unless otherwise noted, the most recent PPA zone status available for 2019 and 2018 is for the plan’s year-end during calendar years 2018 and 2017, respectively. Among other factors, plans in the critical or critical and declining zone are generally less than 65 percent funded, plans in the endangered 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, 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 2018 and 2017. We contributed a total of $128.8 million, $112.6 million and $97.8 million to the multi-employer pension funds for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. The following table provides the pension amounts contributed by fund for those funds that are considered to be individually significant: (in millions) 2019 2018 2017 Central States, Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Plan $ 77.7 $ 70.7 $ 58.8 Teamsters National 401(k) Savings Plan 19.0 14.7 13.1 Road Carriers Local 707 Pension Fund 2.5 2.2 2.2 Teamsters Local 641 Pension Fund 2.1 1.8 1.5 In 2006, the PPA became law and modified both 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. In 2014, the MPRA became law which modified the ability to suspend accrued benefits of plans facing insolvency by adding a new zone status of Critical and Declining. If any of our multi-employer pension plans fail to meet minimum funding requirements, meet a required funding improvement or rehabilitation plan that the PPA 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 or worse and our contributions are not sufficient to satisfy any rehabilitation plan schedule, the PPA 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. In 2016 and 2015, the Central States, Southeast and Southwest Pension Plan and Road Carriers Local 707 Pension Fund filed an application under MPRA with the Department of Treasury requesting the approval of a benefit suspension plan, which was denied. In 2016, the New York State Teamsters Conference Pension and Retirement Fund filed a suspension application which was approved and implemented October 2017. The plan requires annual future employer contribution increases of 3.5% to the plan. If we fail to make our required contributions to a multi-employer plan under a funding improvement or rehabilitation plan, it would expose us to penalties including potential withdrawal liability. If the benchmarks that an applicable funding improvement or rehabilitation plan provides are not met by the end of a prescribed period, the IRS could impose an excise tax on us and the plan’s other contributing employers. These excise taxes are not contributed to the deficient funds, but rather are deposited in the United States general treasury funds. 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 the Company. 401(k) Savings Plans We sponsor the YRC Worldwide Inc. 401(k) Plan and the Reddaway Hourly 401(k) Plan, which are defined contribution plans primarily for employees that our collective bargaining agreements do not cover. The plans permit participants to make contributions to the plans and permit the employer of participants to make contributions on behalf of the participants. Additionally, the Reddaway Hourly 401(k) Plan allows for a non-elective employer contribution. Including non-elective employer contributions, total employer contributions were $12.8 million in 2019, $13.3 million in 2018 and $10.3 million in 2017. Our employees covered under collective bargaining agreements may also participate in union-sponsored 401(k) plans. Annual Incentive Awards The Company provides an annual cash incentive compensation plan (Annual Incentive Plan, or AIP) to certain salaried employees across various levels of the organization which is based on factors such as operating revenues and Adjusted EBITDA achieved for the year, compared to targeted operating results. Results from operations include performance incentive accruals of $29.8 million in 2018, with no such accruals in 2019 or 2017. The AIP awards earned for a year are paid in the first quarter of the following year.

(b) As of December 31, 2018, the stated interest rate represented a variable interest rate of 1, 3 or 6-month LIBOR, with a floor of 1.0% plus a fixed margin of 8.50%. Credit Facilities As of December 31, 2019, we had two primary credit facilities that we utilized to support our liquidity needs: a $600.0 million Term Loan and a $450.0 million ABL Facility. The ABL Facility is used to support our outstanding letters of credit commitments. We have set forth a brief description of our two primary credit facilities and our other financing arrangements in place at December 31, 2019 below. New Term Loan On September 11, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors (the “Term Guarantors”), amended and restated the existing credit facilities under the credit agreement dated February 13, 2014 (the “Prior Term Loan Agreement”) and entered into a new term loan agreement (“New Term Loan Agreement”) with funds managed by Apollo Global Management, LLC acting collectively as lead lender, and Cortland Products Corp, as administrative agent and collateral agent. The obligations of the Company under the New Term Loan Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by the Term Guarantors. The $600.0 million term loan (the “New Term Loan”) has a maturity date of June 30, 2024, with a single payment due at maturity of the outstanding balance. The New Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR (subject to a floor of 1.0%) plus a margin of 7.5% per annum, payable at least quarterly in cash, subject to a 1.0% margin step down in the event the Company achieves greater than $400.0 million in trailing-twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA (defined in the New Term Loan Agreement as “Consolidated EBITDA”). Obligations under the New Term Loan are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in (subject to permitted liens) assets of the Company and the Term Guarantors, including but not limited to all of the Company’s wholly owned terminals, tractors and trailers, subject to certain limited exceptions. The New Term Loan eliminated the total maximum leverage ratio covenant that the Company was subject to under the Prior Term Loan Agreement and introduced a new covenant that requires the Company maintain a minimum trailing-twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA of $200.0 million, measured quarterly. The New Term Loan is subject to repayment with, among other things, 100.0% of the net cash proceeds from the disposition of assets outside the ordinary course of business, except that the Company is permitted to keep the first $40.0 million in trucking terminal property sales over the term of the loan to reinvest in operations or other strategic initiatives, where applicable. Borrowings under the New Term Loan may be voluntarily prepaid, provided however, that any such prepayment or mandatory prepayment (other than with respect to a prepayment with excess cash flow) will be subject to a 3.0% premium until the first anniversary date, a 2.0% premium from the first anniversary date until the second anniversary date, and a 1.0% premium from the second anniversary date until the third anniversary date, and 0.0% thereafter. The New Term Loan resulted in an extinguishment of $11.2 million in capitalized issuance discount and unamortized deferred debt issuance costs relating to the prior term loan. The original issuance discount and transaction fees relating to the New Term Loan were capitalized and will be amortized through interest expense over the life of the New Term Loan. Risks and Uncertainties Regarding Compliance with Credit Facility Financial Covenants Under the New Term Loan, we are required to maintain at least $200.0 million We began taking these actions because of the freight recession our industry experienced in 2019, and that has persisted into early first quarter 2020, that negatively impacted our ability to fully realize operational efficiencies arising from our New NMFA with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters primarily due to the ensuing depressed volume levels and the inherent contractual cost increase associated with the New NMFA. Our ability to satisfy our liquidity needs and meet our minimum Adjusted EBITDA requirement during the next twelve months and thereafter is dependent upon our ability to improve operating performance over 2019 to offset the contractual wage and benefit increases under the New NMFA and other inflationary expense increases associated with among other things our employees and insurance programs. We may extend and or supplement the actions we began taking in 2019 if we continue to experience adverse conditions such as lower volumes, pricing, yield or lower productivities among others, that might impact our forecasted performance. If we are unable to achieve the results required to comply with this covenant in one or more quarters over the next twelve months, we may be required to take specific actions in addition to those described above, including but not limited to, additional reductions in headcount and targeted procurement initiatives to reduce operating costs and, or alternatively, seek an amendment or waiver from our lenders. Obtaining a waiver or an amendment is not within our control, and if unsuccessful, the lenders may exercise the rights available to them under the New Term Loan . $450 Million ABL Facility On February 13, 2014, we entered into our $450 million ABL Facility from a syndicate of banks arranged by Citizens Bank N.A. (formerly known as RBS Citizens, N.A.) (the “ABL Agent”), Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith and CIT Finance LLC. The ABL Facility was amended on June 28, 2016 to extend the maturity date to June 28, 2021. YRC Worldwide and our subsidiaries, YRC Freight, Reddaway, Holland and New Penn are borrowers under the ABL Facility, and certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries are guarantors thereunder. Availability under the ABL Facility 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 outstanding letters of credit and revolving loans. Eligible borrowing base cash is cash that is deposited from time to time into a segregated restricted account and is included in “Restricted amounts held in escrow” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The ABL Facility provides for a $100 million uncommitted accordion to increase the revolving commitment in the future. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had $337.8 million and $341.3 million of outstanding letters of credit, respectively, and no outstanding loans. At our option, borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at either: (i) the applicable LIBOR rate plus 1.75%, as amended, or (ii) the base rate (as defined in the ABL Facility) plus 0.75%, as amended. Letter of credit fees equal to the applicable LIBOR margin in effect, 1.75% as amended, are charged quarterly in arrears on the average daily stated amount of all letters of credit outstanding during the quarter. Unused line fees are charged quarterly in arrears (such unused line fee percentage is equal to 0.375% per annum if the average revolver usage is less than 50% or 0.25% per annum if the average revolver usage is greater than 50%.) The ABL Facility is secured by a perfected first priority security interest (subject to permitted liens) in 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 (subject to permitted liens) in substantially all remaining assets of the borrowers and the guarantors other than the CDA Collateral. The ABL Facility contains conditions, representations and warranties, events of default and indemnification provisions that are customary for financings of this type, including, but not limited to, a springing minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenant, borrowing base reporting, limitations on incurrence of debt, investments, capital expenditures, liens on assets, certain sale and leaseback transactions, transactions with affiliates, mergers, consolidations, purchases and sales of assets, and restricted payments. Certain provisions relating to investments, restricted payments and capital expenditures are relaxed upon meeting specified payment conditions or debt repayment conditions. Second Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement Pursuant to the terms of the collective bargaining agreement with the IBT, the Company’s subsidiaries began making contributions to the Funds (defined below) for the month beginning June 1, 2011 at the rate of 25% of the contribution rate in effect on July 1, 2009. Certain of our subsidiaries are parties to the Amended and Restated Contribution Deferral Agreement (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 last amended in January 2018 (herein referred to as the “Amended Second A&R CDA”). The Deferred Pension Payments and Deferred Interest bear interest at a floating rate as set forth in the Amended Second A&R CDA as well as annual scheduled amortization equal to 2.0% of the amount outstanding as of November 30 of each applicable year. The Amended Second A&R CDA further provides for first lien on certain security first priority real estate collateral and a maturity date of December 31, 2022 on the Deferred Pension Payments and Deferred Interest obligations. Maturities The principal maturities over the next five years and thereafter of total debt as of December 31, 2019 was as follows: (in millions) Term Loan ABL Facility Second A&R CDA Lease Financing Obligations (a) Total 2020 $ — $ — $ 1.4 $ 2.5 $ 3.9 2021 — — 1.4 2.3 3.7 2022 — — 68.4 3.2 71.6 2023 — — — 3.9 3.9 2024 600.0 — — 1.9 601.9 Thereafter — — — 217.8 217.8 Total $ 600.0 $ — $ 71.2 $ 231.6 $ 902.8 (a) Lease financing obligations subsequent to 2024 of $217.8 million consist primarily of interest payments. 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: December 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 (in millions) Book Value Fair Value Book Value Fair Value Prior Term Loan $ — $ — $ 559.4 $ 546.0 New Term Loan 559.9 559.3 — — ABL Facility — — — — Lease financing obligations 231.3 233.7 242.2 234.7 Second A&R CDA 71.0 71.7 73.3 70.0 Total debt $ 862.2 $ 864.7 $ 874.9 $ 850.7 The fair values of the Term Loans and 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). Liquidity 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 December 31, 2019, our maximum availability under our ABL Facility was $37.7 million, and our managed accessibility is $0.2 million. Maximum availability 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 $337.8 million of outstanding letters of credit. Our Managed Accessibility of $0.2 million represents the maximum amount we would access on the ABL Facility and is adjusted for eligible receivables plus eligible borrowing base cash measured as of December 31, 2019. If eligible receivables fall below the threshold management uses to measure availability, which is 10% of the borrowing line, the Credit Agreement governing the ABL Facility permits adjustments from eligible borrowing base cash to restricted cash prior to the compliance measurement date of January 15, 2020. As of January 15, 2020, we had less than 10% of the borrowing line in eligible receivables and moved $29.0 million of cash into restricted cash, as permitted under the ABL Facility, which effectively put our cash and cash equivalents and Managed Accessibility to $80.4 million as of December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2018, our availability under our ABL Facility was $39.2 million. Of the $39.2 million in availability, Managed Accessibility was $1.2 million. Our cash and cash equivalents and Managed Accessibility was $203.8 million as of December 31, 2018. The table below summarizes cash and cash equivalents and Managed Accessibility for the years ended December 31: (in millions) 2019 2018 Cash and cash equivalents 109.2 227.6 Less: amounts placed into restricted cash subsequent to year-end (29.0 ) (25.0 ) Managed Accessibility 0.2 1.2 Total cash and cash equivalents and Managed Accessibility $ 80.4 $ 203.8 Outside of funding normal operations, our principal uses of cash include making contributions to our various multi-employer pension funds and single-employer pension plans, and meeting our other cash obligations, including, but not limited to, paying principal and interest on our funded debt, payments on equipment leases and funding capital expenditures. Capital Expenditures/Operating Leases Our capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were $143.2 million and $145.4 million, respectively. These amounts were principally used to fund the purchase of used tractors and trailers, refurbish engines for our revenue fleet, containers and for capitalized costs to improve our technology infrastructure. For the year ended December 31, 2019, we entered into new operating lease commitments for revenue equipment totaling $111.0 million, with such payments to be made over the average lease term of 4 years with a capital equivalent of $131.8 million. As December 31, 2019, our operating lease obligations for 2020 are $154.4 million and our operating lease obligations through 2030 total $451.1 million and are expected to increase as we lease additional revenue equipment in future years.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	6. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. We lease certain revenue equipment and real estate, predominantly through operating leases, and we have an immaterial number of leases in which we are a lessor. Operating leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease beginning on the lease commencement date. We determine the lease term by assuming the exercise of renewal options that are reasonably certain. The lease term is used to determine whether a lease is finance or operating and is used to calculate rent expense. Additionally, the depreciable life of leased assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term. Operating lease balances are classified as operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and current and long-term operating lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. We have an immaterial amount of finance leases that are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate adjusted for duration and other factors to represent the rate we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease and we will adjust the life of the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise these options. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for as a single lease component. We have variable lease components, including lease payments with payment escalation based on the Consumer Price Index, and other variable items, such as common area maintenance and taxes. Key assumptions include discount rate, the impact of purchase options and renewal options on our lease term, as well as the assessment of residual value guarantees. Our revenue equipment leases generally have purchase options. However, in most circumstances we are not typically certain of exercising the purchase option as we may sign a new lease, return the equipment to the lessor, or exercise the option as circumstances dictate. Our revenue equipment leases often contain residual value guarantees, but they are not reflected in our lease liabilities as our lease rates are such that residual value guarantees are not expected to be owed at the end of our leases. Wrecked units are expensed in full upon damage and paid out to the lessor. Our real estate leases will often have an option to extend the lease, but we are typically not reasonably certain of exercising options to extend as we have the ability to move to more advantageous locations over time, relocate to other leased and owned locations, or discontinue service from particular locations over time as customer demand changes.

Equity-Based Compensation Plans	7. Equity-Based Compensation Plans We reserved 2.5 million shares for issuance to key management personnel and directors under the 2019 long-term incentive and equity award plan. As of December 31, 2019, 1.9 million shares remain available for future issuance under this plan. The plan permits the issuance of restricted stock and stock units, as well as options, stock appreciation rights, and performance stock and performance stock unit awards. Awards under the plan can be generally satisfied in cash or shares at the discretion of the Board of Directors. According to the plan provisions, the stock units provide the holders the right to receive one share of our Common Stock upon vesting (and distribution) of one stock unit. The plan requires the exercise price of any option granted may not be less than the fair market value of a share of our Common Stock on the date of grant. Performance Based Awards In 2019, the Company granted performance stock and performance stock unit awards to key management personnel and directors, respectively, under its 2011 and 2019 long-term incentive plans. In addition to meeting service conditions, these awards are to vest upon the attainment of a 30-day volume-weighted average share price equal to or greater than $11.75 of the Company’s common stock on or before December 31, 2020 (“Stock Price Goal”). For key management personnel, typically half of their awards will vest 100% on the achievement of the Stock Price Goal and the remaining shares will vest on the 12-month anniversary of the same date. In all cases, however, key management personnel must also continue to remain employed by the Company until shares vest to receive their performance stock awards. In addition to meeting the Stock Price Goal, directors were required to serve on the Board until the earlier of the 2019 Annual Stockholders Meeting or June 30, 2019 (the “Board Service Requirement”). All directors who received performance stock unit awards met the Board Service Requirement. However, all but one of the current and former members of the Board of Directors who received these performance stock unit awards voluntarily forfeited their performance stock units in December 2019. A summary of the 2019 performance-based unvested stock and performance-based unvested stock unit awards are presented in the following table: Shares/units (in thousands) Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Unvested at December 31, 2018 — $ — Granted 2,927 $ 2.59 Forfeited (642 ) $ 3.20 Unvested at December 31, 2019 2,285 $ 2.42 The intrinsic value of unvested shares as of December 31, 2019 was $5.8 million. The Company records expense on a straight-line basis over the service period. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded compensation expense for these stock awards of $2.6 million. Unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards of $2.9 million at December 31, 2019 is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.4 years. In 2015, the Company granted performance stock unit awards to employees under its 2015 long-term incentive plan. The awards provided a target number of stock units that vested equally over three years. A summary of performance-based unvested stock unit activity is as follows: Units (in thousands) Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Unvested at December 31, 2016 261 $ 17.98 Vested (141 ) 17.90 Forfeited (6 ) 18.23 Unvested at December 31, 2017 114 $ 18.06 Vested (114 ) 18.06 Forfeited — — Unvested at December 31, 2018 — $ — Vested — — Forfeited — — Unvested at December 31, 2019 — $ — The Company expenses the grant date fair value of the awards earned in the performance period over the respective service periods. For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized compensation expense of $0.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively. These awards were fully expensed by February 2018. Restricted Stock A summary of the activity of our unvested restricted stock and stock unit awards are presented in the following table: Shares/units (in thousands) Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Unvested at December 31, 2016 1,175 $ 11.30 Granted 496 12.43 Vested and distributed (306 ) 11.91 Forfeited (58 ) 12.28 Unvested at December 31, 2017 1,307 $ 11.55 Granted 730 9.35 Vested and distributed (457 ) 10.91 Forfeited (164 ) 11.31 Unvested at December 31, 2018 1,416 $ 10.65 Granted 437 5.39 Vested and distributed (779 ) 9.16 Forfeited (81 ) 10.74 Unvested at December 31, 2019 993 $ 9.50 All of the members of the Board of Directors have deferred receipt of the Common Stock underlying some or all of the restricted stock units they have been awarded until a later date, such as when the director ceases to serve on the Board or, under certain circumstances, upon a change of control. Thus, while some of these restricted stock units have vested, the directors have not yet received the underlying Common Stock. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, the total number of restricted stock units that are vested but for which the underlying Common Stock has not been distributed was 500,000, 660,000, and 528,000, respectively; these shares are shown as unvested in the above table. The intrinsic value of unvested shares as of December 31, 2019 was $2.5 million. The Company records expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting term. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded compensation expense for restricted stock awards of $3.6 million, $6.2 million, and $5.6 million, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards of $1.8 million at December 31, 2019 is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.7 years. The vesting provisions for the restricted stock and stock unit awards and the related number of shares granted during the year ended December 31 are as follows: Shares/units (in thousands) Vesting Terms 2019 2018 2017 50% immediately and 50% on the 1 year anniversary of grant date 162 — — 100% immediately 186 132 106 33.3% per year for three years 89 452 85 100% on February 14, 2020 — — 305 100% on July 31, 2018 — 146 — Total restricted stock and stock units granted 437 730 496 The fair value of non-vested shares is determined based on the closing trading price of our shares on the grant date. The fair value of shares vested and distributed during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 was $7.1 million, $5.0 million, and $3.6 million, respectively. The outstanding awards under our stock compensation plans are considered participating securities in our earnings per share calculation.

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) 2019 2018 Depreciation $ 99.5 $ 109.0 Right of use - leases 93.7 — Deferred revenue 6.3 9.3 Intangibles 3.4 6.0 State taxes 19.6 19.9 Other 16.0 15.2 Deferred tax liabilities 238.5 159.4 Claims and insurance (89.9 ) (84.8 ) Net operating loss carryforwards (210.7 ) (199.9 ) Employee benefit accruals (94.8 ) (88.9 ) Sale/leaseback transactions (55.5 ) (54.5 ) Lease liabilities (93.8 ) — Other (28.4 ) (20.6 ) Deferred tax assets (573.1 ) (448.7 ) Valuation allowance 334.0 291.1 Net deferred tax assets (239.1 ) (157.6 ) Net deferred tax (asset) liability $ (0.6 ) $ 1.8 The net deferred tax (asset) liability of ($0.6) million and $1.8 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, is included as a separate line item in each of the accompanying balance sheets. Current income tax payable was $1.6 million and $5.8 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is included in “Other current and accrued liabilities” in the accompanying balance sheets. As of December 31, 2019, the Company has remaining federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $756.5 million. Deemed ownership changes that occurred in July 2011, in July 2013 and in January 2014 imposed annual and cumulative limits under the Code on the utilization of these carryforwards. These limits are not expected to inhibit the Company’s ability to utilize these losses over their carry forward periods. Carryforwards of $690.0 million incurred prior to 2018 expire between 2030 and 2037. Pursuant to the Tax Act, net operating losses incurred after 2017 are available to be carried forward indefinitely. As of December 31, 2019 $0.1 million As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, a valuation allowance of $334.0 million and $291.1 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: 2019 2018 2017 Federal statutory rate 21.0 % 21.0 % 35.0 % State income taxes, net (0.7 %) 14.1 % (2.8 )% Foreign tax rate differential (2.6 %) 12.1 % (10.0 )% Permanent differences (0.6 %) 8.3 % (8.9 )% Valuation allowance (17.7 )% (17.5 )% (48.6 )% Benefit from intraperiod tax allocation under ASC 740 — % — % 73.5 % Net change in unrecognized tax benefits 0.6 % (0.9 )% 0.5 % Other, net (primarily prior year return to provision) 4.0 % (1.6 )% 1.6 % Effective tax rate 4.0 % 35.5 % 40.3 % The income tax provision (benefit) consisted of the following: (in millions) 2019 2018 2017 Current: Federal $ — $ — $ (0.9 ) State (3.3 ) 5.4 0.8 Foreign 2.0 6.8 6.0 Current income tax expense (benefit) (1.3 ) 12.2 5.9 Deferred: Federal — — (13.3 ) State — — — Foreign (3.0 ) (1.1 ) 0.1 Deferred income tax benefit (3.0 ) (1.1 ) (13.2 ) Income tax expense (benefit) (4.3 ) 11.1 (7.3 ) Based on the income (loss) before income taxes: Domestic (104.7 ) 13.6 (30.5 ) Foreign (3.6 ) 17.7 12.4 Income (Loss) before income taxes $ (108.3 ) $ 31.3 $ (18.1 ) The Company applies the intraperiod tax allocation rules of ASC 740 to allocate income taxes among continuing operations, other comprehensive income (loss), and additional paid-in capital when our situation meets the criteria as prescribed in the rule. During 2017, the Company recognized $13.3 million of deferred benefit in the statement of consolidated operations and an equal and offsetting deferred tax expense in other comprehensive income (loss) included in the statement of consolidated comprehensive income (loss) due to the application of the exception within the intraperiod tax allocation rules. There was no domestic deferred benefit recognized in 2019 or 2018, as the exception did not apply. 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) 2019 2018 Unrecognized tax benefits at January 1 $ 59.2 $ 56.8 Increases related to: Tax positions taken during a prior period — 7.1 Tax positions taken during the current period 0.5 0.4 Decreases related to: Tax positions taken during a prior period (0.1 ) (0.1 ) Lapse of applicable statute of limitations (1.1 ) (4.8 ) Settlements with taxing authorities — (0.2 ) Unrecognized tax benefits at December 31 $ 58.5 $ 59.2 At December 31, 2019 and 2018, there are $9.8 million and $10.5 million of benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. We accrued interest of $0.9 million and $0.8 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and reversed $1.0 million and $0.3 million of previously accrued interest on uncertain tax positions during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 for a net decrease of ($0.1) million for 2019 and a net increase $0.5 million for 2018, respectively. The reversals related primarily to statute expirations and other favorable resolution of prior uncertain positions. The total amount of interest accrued for uncertain tax positions is $2.7 million and $2.8 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we paid no amounts to settle audits. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we paid inconsequential amounts of tax and interest to settle state audits of tax years 2010 through 2014 for certain of our subsidiaries, and we reduced our previously recorded liability for unrecognized tax benefits 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 $7.3 million as a result of developments in examinations, or from the expiration of statutes of limitation. Tax years that remain subject to examination for our major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2019: Statute remains open 2005-2018 Tax years currently under examination/exam completed 2005-2013 Tax years not examined 2014-2019

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segments	9. 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. We charge management fees and other corporate service fees to our reporting segments based on the benefits received or an overhead allocation basis. Shared support functions include information technology, finance and accounting, legal, revenue management, risk management, procurement, and security. Corporate represents residual operating expenses of the holding company that are not attributable to any segment and remain unallocated. It also represents certain items that are permitted to be excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Corporate identifiable assets primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted amounts held in escrow, information technology assets, and deferred debt issuance costs. Intersegment revenue relates to transportation services between our segments. We considered the disclosure requirements for revenue disaggregation guidance in ASC Topic 606 and noted that our segments disaggregate our revenues based on geographic and time-based factors as our Regional Transportation segment carriers operate in a smaller geographic footprint and have a shorter length of haul as compared to our YRC Freight segment. As noted in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Revenue from foreign sources totaled $79.6 million, $104.1 million, and $99.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively, and is mainly derived from Canada and, to a lesser extent, Mexico. Long-lived assets located in foreign countries totaled $7.2 million, $6.5 million and $5.3 million at December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. The following table summarizes our operations by business segment: (in millions) YRC Freight Regional Transportation Corporate/ Eliminations Consolidated 2019 External revenue $ 3,088.7 $ 1,782.7 $ (0.2 ) $ 4,871.2 Operating income (loss) 38.3 (4.8 ) (17.3 ) 16.2 Identifiable assets 1,317.0 746.6 (232.0 ) 1,831.6 Acquisition of property and equipment (89.6 ) (45.5 ) (8.1 ) (143.2 ) Proceeds from disposal of property and equipment 14.1 11.8 — 25.9 Depreciation and amortization 86.5 64.6 1.3 152.4 2018 External revenue $ 3,197.3 $ 1,895.0 $ (0.3 ) $ 5,092.0 Operating income (loss) 85.0 70.7 (12.8 ) 142.9 Identifiable assets 973.6 626.4 17.1 1,617.1 Acquisition of property and equipment (76.5 ) (62.9 ) (6.0 ) (145.4 ) Proceeds from disposal of property and equipment 35.8 0.6 — 36.4 Depreciation and amortization 82.2 65.0 0.5 147.7 2017 External revenue $ 3,067.9 $ 1,823.4 $ (0.3 ) $ 4,891.0 Operating income (loss) 60.7 67.9 (9.6 ) 119.0 Identifiable assets 1,042.1 607.4 (64.0 ) 1,585.5 Acquisition of property and equipment (66.6 ) (36.6 ) (0.1 ) (103.3 ) Proceeds from disposal of property and equipment 8.1 0.7 — 8.8 Depreciation and amortization 84.8 62.9 — 147.7

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings (Loss) Per Share	11. Earnings (Loss) Per Share We calculate basic earnings (loss) per share by dividing our net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders by our weighted-average shares outstanding at the end of the period. 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 the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017 are as follows: (dollars in millions, except per share data, shares and stock units in thousands) 2019 2018 2017 Basic and dilutive net income (loss) $ (104.0 ) $ 20.2 $ (10.8 ) Basic weighted average shares outstanding 33,252 32,983 32,685 Effect of dilutive securities: Unvested shares and stocks units (a) — 876 — Dilutive weighted average shares outstanding 33,252 33,859 32,685 Basic earnings (loss) per share (b) $ (3.13 ) $ 0.61 $ (0.33 ) Diluted earnings (loss) per share (b) $ (3.13 ) $ 0.60 $ (0.33 ) (a) (b) Given our net loss position for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2017, there are no dilutive securities for this period.

Commitments, Contingencies, and Uncertainties	12. Commitments, Contingencies, and Uncertainties Department of Defense Complaints In December 2018, the United States on behalf of the United States Department of Defense filed a Complaint in Intervention (“Complaint”) against the Company in the U.S. District in the Western District of New York captioned United States ex rel. James Hannum v. YRC Freight, Inc.; Roadway Express, Inc.; and Yellow Transportation, Inc., Class Action Securities Complaint In January 2019, a purported class action lawsuit captioned Christina Lewis v. YRC Worldwide Inc., et al., Shareholder Derivative Complaints In May 2019, a putative shareholder filed an action derivatively and on behalf of the Company naming James L. Welch, Jamie G. Pierson, Stephanie D. Fisher, Raymond J. Bromark, Douglas A. Carty, William R. Davidson, Matthew A. Doheny, Robert L. Friedman, James E. Hoffman, Michael J. Kneeland, Patricia M. Nazemetz, and James F. Winestock individually as defendants and the Company as the nominal defendant. In an amended complaint, filed on October 15, 2019, Darren D. Hawkins was added as a defendant. The case is captioned Hastey v. Welch, et al. In October 2019, another putative shareholder filed an action derivatively and on behalf of the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware naming the same defendants as did the October 15, 2019 amended complaint in the Hastey Broughton v. Hawkins, et al. Hastey Broughton 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.

Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of YRC Worldwide and its wholly 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.
Use of Estimates	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.
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 Risks 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. At December 31, 2019, approximately 79% of our labor force is subject to collective bargaining agreements. In 2019, we agreed to a new labor agreement that, among other things, extend the expiration date of our primary labor agreement from March 31, 2019 to March 31, 2024. This also updated the contribution rates under our multi-employer pension plan. The new agreement provided for wage and benefits increases through the term of the agreement. Finally, the new agreement provided for certain changes to work rules and our use of purchased transportation in certain situations.
Revenue Recognition and Revenue-related Reserves	Revenue Recognition and Revenue-related Reserves The Company’s revenues are derived from the transportation services we provide through the delivery of goods over the duration of a shipment. Upon receipt of the bill of lading, the contract existence criteria is met as evidenced by a legally enforceable agreement between two parties where collectability is probable, thus creating the distinct performance obligation. The Company has elected to expense initial direct costs as incurred because the average shipment cycle is less than one week. The YRC Freight and Regional Transportation segments recognize revenue and substantially all the purchased transportation expense on a gross basis because we direct the use of the transportation service provided and remain responsible for the complete and proper shipment. Inherent within our revenue recognition practices are estimates for revenue associated with shipments in transit and future adjustments to revenue and accounts receivable for billing adjustments and collectability. 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. For the reserve for uncollectible accounts, we primarily use historical write-off experience but may also consider customer-specific factors, overall collection trends and economic conditions as part of our ongoing monitoring of credit. 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 customer specific factors and make adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts as appropriate. Our allowance for doubtful accounts totaled $11.4 million and $11.1 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Given the nature of our transportation services, future adjustments may arise which creates variability when establishing the transaction price used to recognize revenue. We have a high volume of performance obligations with similar characteristics, therefore we primarily use historical trends to arrive at estimated reserves. For rerate reserves, which are common for LTL carriers, 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 and commodity verifications. Although the majority of rerating occurs in the same month as the original rating, a portion occurs during subsequent periods. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, our financial statements included a rerate reserve as a reduction to “Accounts Receivable” of $7.9 million and $12.5 million, respectively. For shipments in transit, we record revenue based on the percentage of service completed as of the period end and recognize 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. The total revenue earned is accumulated for all shipments in transit at a particular period end and recorded as operating revenue. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, our financial statements included deferred revenue as a reduction to “Accounts Receivable” of $25.2 million and $25.7 million, respectively. Beginning January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers Revenue Disaggregation We considered the disclosure requirements for revenue disaggregation guidance in ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers YRC Freight segment (in millions) 2019 2018 LTL revenue $ 2,841.0 $ 2,948.1 Other revenue 247.7 249.2 Total revenue 3,088.7 3,197.3 Regional Transportation segment (in millions) 2019 2018 LTL revenue $ 1,653.0 $ 1,742.5 Other revenue 129.7 152.5 Total revenue 1,782.7 1,895.0 Consolidated (in millions) 2019 2018 LTL revenue $ 4,494.0 $ 4,690.6 Other revenue 377.2 401.4 Total revenue 4,871.2 5,092.0
Self-Insurance Accruals for Claims	Self-Insurance Accruals for Claims Claims and insurance accruals, both current and long-term, reflect the estimated settlement cost of claims for workers’ compensation, property damage and liability claims (also referred to as third-party liability claims), and cargo loss and damage that insurance does not cover. We establish and modify reserve estimates for workers’ compensation and property damage and liability claims primarily based 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 2.0%, 2.6% and 1.5% for workers’ compensation claims incurred as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The rate was 2.1%, 2.5% and 1.3% for property damage and liability claims incurred as of December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, 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. Expected aggregate undiscounted amounts and material changes to these amounts related to workers’ compensation and property damage and liability claims as of December 31 are presented below: (in millions) Workers’ Compensation Third-Party Liability Claims Total Undiscounted amount at December 31, 2017 $ 299.3 $ 70.5 $ 369.8 Estimated settlement cost for 2018 claims 95.9 40.0 135.9 Claim payments, net of recoveries (92.4 ) (36.2 ) (128.6 ) Change in estimated settlement cost for prior claim years (15.0 ) (0.7 ) (15.7 ) Undiscounted settlement cost estimate at December 31, 2018 $ 287.8 $ 73.6 $ 361.4 Estimated settlement cost for 2019 claims 103.3 35.2 138.5 Claim payments, net of recoveries (95.9 ) (36.1 ) (132.0 ) Change in estimated settlement cost for prior claim years (9.6 ) 1.1 (8.5 ) Undiscounted settlement cost estimate at December 31, 2019 $ 285.6 $ 73.8 $ 359.4 Discounted settlement cost estimate at December 31, 2019 $ 262.2 $ 73.4 $ 335.6 In addition to the amounts above, accrued settlement cost amounts for cargo claims and other insurance related amounts, none of which are discounted, totaled $13.7 million and $13.9 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Estimated cash payments to settle claims which were incurred on or before December 31, 2019, for the next five years and thereafter are as follows: (in millions) Workers’ Compensation Third-Party Liability Claims Total 2020 $ 78.3 $ 33.5 $ 111.8 2021 50.1 17.9 68.0 2022 33.3 11.4 44.7 2023 22.0 5.8 27.8 2024 16.4 2.6 19.0 Thereafter 85.5 2.6 88.1 Total $ 285.6 $ 73.8 $ 359.4
Equity-Based Compensation	Equity-Based Compensation We have various equity-based employee compensation plans, which are described more fully in the “Equity-Based Compensation Plans” footnote to our consolidated financial statements. We recognize compensation costs for non-vested shares based on the grant date fair value. For our equity grants, with no performance requirement, we recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period (generally three years) based on the grant-date fair value. For our performance-based awards, the Company expenses the grant date fair value of the awards which are probable of being earned in the performance period over the respective service period.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment The following is a summary of the components of our property and equipment at cost as of December 31: (in millions) 2019 2018 Land $ 239.9 $ 243.7 Structures 788.4 791.3 Revenue equipment 1,228.2 1,257.4 Technology equipment and software 291.7 259.7 Other (a) 213.4 213.8 Total property and equipment, at cost $ 2,761.6 $ 2,765.9 (a) Other consists of miscellaneous equipment used in field operations. 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 10 - 30 Revenue equipment 10 - 20 Technology equipment and software 3 - 7 Other 3 - 10 We charge maintenance and repairs to expense as incurred and betterments are capitalized. The cost of replacement tires is expensed at the time those tires are placed into service, as is the case with other repair and maintenance costs. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the remaining lease term. In addition to purchasing new revenue equipment, we also rebuild the engines of our tractors (at certain time or mile intervals). Because rebuilding an engine increases its useful life, we capitalize these costs and depreciate over the remaining useful life of the unit. The cost of engines on newly acquired revenue equipment is capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related equipment. Our investment in technology equipment and software consists primarily of freight movement, automation, administrative, and related software. The Company capitalizes certain costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. Capitalizable costs include external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining the software and payroll and payroll-related costs for employees directly associated with the development of the project. For the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, depreciation expense was $150.5 million, $145.9 million and $147.7 million, respectively. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators are present and the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the long-lived assets, the carrying value would be reduced to the estimated fair value. Future cash flow estimates for an impairment review would be based on the lowest level of identifiable cash flows, which are at the operating company level.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments From time to time, we hold financial assets held at fair value, which consists of restricted cash held in escrow. Restricted amounts held in escrow are invested in money market accounts and are recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices and have typically been level 1 fair value assets. Assets are considered level 1 if their valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, we had no restricted amounts held in escrow. 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. The fair value of our long-term debt is included in the “Debt and Financing” footnote to the consolidated financial statements.
Newly Adopted Accounting Standards and Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Newly-Adopted Accounting Standards In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases The Company elected the package of three practical expedients which allows entities to not reassess initial direct costs, lease classification for existing or expired leases, and lease definition for existing or expired contracts as of the effective date of January 1, 2019. Additionally, the Company did not elect the hindsight method practical expedient which would have allowed us to reassess lease terms and impairment. For leases with a term of twelve months or less, the Company has made an accounting policy election in which the right of use lease (“ROU”) asset and lease liability will not be recognized on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company does not separate lease and non-lease components for its revenue equipment and real property leases. The Company reassessed the accounting for debt financing obligations under the new standard and determined the historical accounting remained appropriate under the new standard. The adoption of this standard impacted our consolidated balance sheet through the recognition of $378.8 million in ROU assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2019. Lease deposits in the amount of $25.4 million were reclassified from “Other assets” to a reduction of “Operating lease liabilities” per the consolidated balance sheet upon adoption of the new standard. The new standard did not impact the calculation of our financial covenants defined under the terms of our credit agreements. See the “Leases” footnote to the consolidated financial statements for additional information. Impact of Recently-Issued Accounting Standards In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses . The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on our financial statements.

The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2020, but the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements during 2020. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes. ginning after December 15, 2020, . The Company does not expect this standard to have a material impact on our financial statements.
