Somewhere around 2000.
Adelanto still has a P & D operation.
Barstow is still empty and for sale.
There was a period of transition from Adelanto to Bloomington, when Roadway had a BB in San Bernardino.

Yellow closed the Barstow breakbulk around 2001 and moved to the San Bernardino breakbulk. About a year later Roadway closed the Adelanto breakbulk and moved to the Bloomington breakbulk. Both companies claim that the move was necessary because BNSF would no longer accommodate them out of the Barstow Intermodal facility.
Since the merge in 2009 YRC was using Bloomington as the breakbulk. In 2010 the breakbulk was moved to the San Bernardino facility. Around 2014 they moved back to the Bloomington facility where they still operate now.
Barstow and San Bernardino yards aren't being used by YRC but we still run a small P&D operation out of the Adelanto yard.
