The man with the little blue sprinters has very deep pockets and has clout to pull off unimaginable deals. Wally World is getting into e commerce market very strong, currently YRC moves alot of freight for Wally. What better way to put the hurt to one of your competitors, buy part of there supply chain logistics, thin out what parts of company that you need and sell or shut down portions of it.YRC is unsellable.
No board of directors would ever allow the purchase of YRC. Returning YRC to profitability with a unionized workforce and having to make the pension funds whole is not possible. The free money from the American Rescue Plan might have bought an extra 3-5 years but the demise of YRC is eminent.
If you remember there was a time when Schneider would buy small trucking companies just to get the accounts.
The e commerce and residential delivery/ final mile is going to change the current landscape that we know today, Bezos has the money and the resources to pretty much do as he pleases.
Never assume YRC is not up for sale.
