YRC Logistics offers companies end-to-end logistics solutions. It helps
its clients to improve their logistics network and overall supply chain

management, dedicated fleet, global and domestic forwarding, brokerage,
and technology tools.
The relationship between YRC Logistics and carpet manufacturer Interface,
Inc., is an outstanding example of the benefits of collaboration between
SmartWay Transport Partners. These companies have worked together to
use the SmartWay FLEET Model to do a more refined analysis of their
complete environmental transportation footprint. YRC Logistics used the
model to break down freight by truckload and less-than-truckload to
get more accurate emission reduction results. These results helped optimize
its supply-chain efficiency.
"With the capability to model environmental impact, YRC Logistics can help clients design solutions that minimize environmental impact,
a process that usually results in reduced overall logistics cost."
