Yellow taps Zimmerman to head USF Holland
Yellow Roadway Corp. named Bob Zimmerman president of USF Holland, effective June 27, following its May acquisition of Chicago-based USF Corp. for $1.37 billion.
Zimmerman served as senior vice president, field operations and sales, at Yellow Transportation, one of two major motor carriers owned by Yellow Roadway. He helped the giant less-than-truckload carrier develop second-day and next-day service.
USF, a regional carrier that serves 22 states in the Midwest and Southeast, will operate as part of the YRC Regional Transportation subsidiary that includes next-day express carrier New Penn Motor Express.
Yellow Roadway has yet to indicate who will lead USF’s four other trucking companies.
