New Penn | New Penn For Sale???

we'll see.could be for our accts, and strong rep. in the n-east..really if it does happen it would work out for both sides..ups has deep pockets and will get a return on their investment..yrc gets the cash.to keep them alive..they really need it and really new penn is their cash cow and their "ace in the hole"

But in these economic times, New Penn is worth more to YRC to keep than what they would need to sell them for to make an impact on the YRC books. And any buyer (OR BANK FOR THAT MATTER) would have a tough time paying "Top Dollar". Remember, over 3000 trucking companies closed their doors in 2008......banks are not impressed with the trucking industry.....unless you are "DEBT FREE"........and YRC is not, not to mention the pension issues.
 
Hate to beat a dead horse, but answer me this one question.

Why would UPS try to help out Yellow freight by giving them the cash that they need ??
Why would UPS buy NPME business when they can just turn up the pressure and take what they want in 6-9 months when YRCW is dead ??

No trucking company will be buying NPME, mark my words.

Excellent post. You beat me to that .
 
We all make mistakes...I am humbled by your knowledge of my posts.

With that being said, I will alter my last statement to clarify my opinion.

No trucking company will but NPME. I stand by that.

I will also say that NPME will not be part of YRCW by the middle of 2009. I believe that somehow, someway NPME will be spun off, or shut down.

Its just an opinion folks.
 
this is why npme could be sold...or why someone would buy....

When you cut and paste right off of the NEW PENN website, what do/did you expect it too say? Certainly would not sound the same if it said: "When you work for New Penn (a YRC company) you enjoy the insecurity of knowing you work for one of the most financially unstable companies in the industry. Further, New Penn employees take great pride in the company's reputation for service excellence (aside from the YRC service thing). Come, join us. You too can be YRC Proud!"

1:employees take pride in the new penn brand
2: new penn still pofitable
3: Well you got me there... the YRC thing sucks..

someone " mistakenly" put up a for sale sign in front of the baltimore terminal today. home office was called and told , they said to remove it right away. also driver brought in a print out from a real estate site with the terminal listed on it. only 49 pick ups today, dont know if the 2 go hand in hand.

New Penn Not for Sale
1/30/2009
John Gallagher
Associate Editor

YRC Worldwide Chairman, President and CEO William D. Zollars denied his company was ready to sell regional subsidiary New Penn.

"Rumors of a divestiture of New Penn are not true," Zollars said. "They're a valued part of our portfolio and are performing well."

Zollars wouldn't comment, however, on whether or not the Lebanon, Pa.-based company, considered by many as YRC's best run company, was able to generate a profit in the fourth quarter. "We don't get into that detail with our individual subsidiaries," Zollars said.

New Penn, which employs over 2,000 people, specializes in next-day service through 24 service centers in the Northeastern United States, Quebec, Canada and Puerto Rico. It operates a fleet of over 850 tractors and 1,700 trailers, according to the company Web site.
