Holiday
shipping requires speed, precision, reliability and flexibility. Let
Roadway meet your holiday transportation demands.
Rush orders to avoid stock-outs are to be expected as today's leading retailers keep inventories lean during the Christmas holiday countdown. We are seeing record shipment numbers as more customers recognize the capabilities of speed and precision delivery for their supply chains.
Roadway Time-Critical™ Service has proven over the course of several years to be a key solution for holiday shipping challenges. Whether you require next-day, or direct-to-store delivery between 9-10 AM so that products can be on store shelves when the doors open to Christmas shoppers, or guaranteed delivery to a distribution center in order to avoid chargebacks that impact your margins, and put you at risk of losing the next holiday order--Time-Critical™ Service delivers speed, precision, reliability and flexibility.
Recent network enhancements have given us the foundation to deliver even greater speed, precision and reliability to the marketplace.
When margins are tight and the next order can make or break your quarter, you can count on Roadway Time-Critical™ Service to meet your needs and make your holiday season both successful and peaceful.

driver Alphonso
Lewis, 2007 National Grand Champion of the National Truck
Driving Championships, and YRC Worldwide, Inc. executives rang the NASDAQ
Stock Market Opening Bell on Friday, November 23.
Alphonso, a driver account specialist from our Montgomery, AL, service center, achieved a safety milestone no other Roadway driver has accomplished in our 77-year history--Grand Champion of the 2007 National Truck Driving Championships (NTDC). The title of "Grand Champion"--the highest honor given--is an extraordinary accomplishment.
When asked what winning the Grand Championship meant to him, Alphonso admitted it was difficult to describe: "It's overwhelming, but it feels great. I thought I was already at the top when I won first place in 4-axle. Now I'm on top of the world!"

professional driver and America's Road Team Captain Albert
Adams has been traveling the nation delivering safety
messages.
As part of America's Road Team, Albert hopes to impress upon drivers of all ages the differences between driving a car and a tractor-trailer. He states, "A little common sense goes a long way. The larger the vehicle, the larger the blind spot." It is important to allow for a cushion between the two vehicles. "The highway is our workplace. Just like everybody's workplace, [we] want to make it as safe as possible."
Enthusiastic about the importance of road safety, Albert practices what he teaches. He recently achieved the elite status of driving 3 million miles without a preventable accident.
Albert is one of five Roadway professional truck drivers selected to become Road Team Captains in the 2007-2008 America's Road Team. Sponsored by Volvo Trucks North America, the America's Road Team is the trucking industry's premier ambassador group traveling across the U.S. speaking to the motor public, news media, civic groups and legislators, acting as role models for more than 3.2 million professional drivers, and representing the U.S. trucking industry.

Be Prepared.
Be
ready for what you may encounter while driving.
You may say--"this
is common sense." And it is. But how many of us jump in our vehicle when
the weather looks nice and end up in an ice or snow storm?
Some good suggestions to be prepared for winter driving--the basics--wear proper clothing (loose layers, extra gloves, rain gear); keep a flashlight in the glove box; a blanket, food/water on hand; a bag of sand/salt and extra washer fluid; a windshield scraper.
Try to have at least a half of a tank of gas during winter--just in case.
Plan long trips carefully. Keep in mind what kind of weather conditions you may encounter.
