YRC (Nasdaq: YRCW), an Overland Park-based trucker, said Monday that it received the initial proceeds of $33.6 million, with an additional $5.1 million placed in escrow to cover transferring ownership of foreign subsidiaries and for indemnification purposes.
YRC said the sale was designed to streamline its operations and raise much-needed cash. However, it also expects to pay as much as $11 million in charges to close down some services tied to the division.
The company said it will retain its two China-based joint ventures and will continue to offer logistics services to its customers through a partnership with Austin Ventures.
