Yellow's bankruptcy and closure has been effecting the trucking industry over the last few months with another round of auctioning off assets taking place, creating a bidding war. Saia spent $7.9 million for 11 leases, adding to the $236 million it previously spent to purchase 17 of Yellow's terminals. Estes Express Lines spent $35.3 million on five leased properties. A unit of R&L Carriers spent $9 million on three leased properties. Part of ArcBest Corp. handed over $7.7 million for a terminal in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings paid $417,150 for two terminals. More ripples are being felt as the landscape continues to change within the trucking delivery industry.

More of Yellow's terminals acquired by 6 major trucking companies for $83 million Yellow's rolling stock -- some 12,000 trucks and 40,000 trailers -- is to be sold by Ritchie Brothers and Nation's Capital.

The American Trucking Associations and other trucking groups are calling on Congress to streamline and change the approach for essential trucker drivers to gain background checks while working with the TSA. "It would allow workers to apply existing valid background checks to multiple TSA-managed credentialing programs, such as the Transportation Worker Identification Credentials and Hazardous Materials Endorsements." This would save truckers and their companies time and money and create less overhead from an enforcement standpoint.
