PART I

Item 1. Business.

(a) Yellow Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are collectively
referred to as "the company". The company provides transportation
services primarily to the less-than-truckload (LTL) market throughout
North America. There were no material changes in the method of
conducting business by the company in 1994. However, in November 1994
the company acquired Johnson's Freighlines (renamed WestEx), a Phoneix,
AZ-based regional carrier with annual revenue of approximately $17
million. Additionally, the company's subsidiaries expanded
geographically and improved their service offerings during the year as
described below.

(b) The operation of the company is conducted through one predominant
industry segment, which is the interstate transportation of general
commodity freight, primarily LTL, by motor vehicle.

(c) Yellow Corporation is a holding company providing freight transportation
services through its subsidiaries, Yellow Freight System, Inc. (Yellow
Freight), Preston Trucking Company, Inc. (Preston Trucking), Saia Motor
Freight Line, Inc. (Saia), CSI/Reeves, Inc. (CSI/Reeves), WestEx, Inc.
(WestEx), Yellow Logistics Services, Inc. (Yellow Logistics) and Yellow
Technology Services, Inc. (Yellow Technology). The company employed an
average of 33,400 persons in 1994.

Yellow Freight, the company's principal subsidiary, had operating
revenue of $2.221 billion in 1994 (77% of the company's total revenue)
and is based in Overland Park, Kansas. It is the nation's largest
provider of LTL transportation services with direct service to over
35,000 points in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, Canada and Mexico. Yellow
Freight services Europe via an alliance with The Royal Frans Maas Group
based in the Netherlands.

Preston Trucking is primarily a regional LTL carrier serving the
Northeast and upper Midwest markets of the United States. Preston
Trucking had operating revenue of $417 million in 1994 (15% of the
company's total revenue) and is headquartered in Preston, Maryland.

Saia is a regional LTL carrier that provides overnight and second-day
service in nine Southeastern states. It had operating revenue of $138
million in 1994 and is based in Houma, Louisiana. Effective January 1,
1995, Smalley Transportation Company (Smalley), an affiliated company,
was merged into Saia. Smalley was a regional carrier providing service
to customers in Georgia and throughout Florida, with operating revenue
of $40 million in 1994.

CSI/Reeves is in the business of transporting, warehousing and
distributing carpet and related products. It had operating revenue of
$36 million in 1994 and is based in Calhoun, Georgia.

WestEx, formerly Johnson's Freightlines, was acquired in November 1994.
This regional LTL carrier provides mostly overnight service to the
states of Arizona, New Mexico and parts of Texas and Nevada and is based
in Phoenix, Arizonia.

Yellow Logistics offers integrated logistics management services
including transportation management, warehousing, information systems,
distribution, package design and testing. Its headquarters are in
Overland Park, Kansas.

Item 1. Business. (cont.)

Yellow Technology supports the company's subsidiaries - primarily Yellow
Freight - with information technology. It ensures that information systems
anticipate and meet customers' needs and that the systems are an integral part
of the transportation process. Its headquarters are in Overland Park, Kansas.

The operations of the freight transportation companies are partially regulated
by the Interstate Commerce Commission and state regulatory bodies. As a result
of the passage of the Trucking Industry Regulatory Reform Act of 1994, the
entry and rates for the intrastate operations of all transportation companies
became deregulated January 1, 1995. Competition includes contract motor
carriers, private fleets, railroads and other motor carriers. No single
carrier has a dominant share of the motor freight market.

The company operates in a highly price-sensitive and competitive industry,
making pricing, customer service and cost control major competitive factors.
Traditionally, rate increases have been implemented to offset increases in
labor and other operating costs. The motor carrier subsidiaries have
implemented rate increases of between four and five percent during the first
quarter of 1994 to cover increases in operating costs. The full impact of rate
increases is not realized immediately as a result of pricing that is on a
contract basis and can only be increased when the contract is renewed or
renegotiated. A relatively stable pricing environment enabled the company to
retain most of the 1994 rate increases. The company's subsidiaries are
continuing to work toward improved account profitability and maintaining
pricing stability. The motor carrier subsidiaries have implemented rate
increases of between four and five percent during the first quarter of 1995 to
cover increases in operating costs.

The company's strategy focuses on introducing new customer services, improving
existing services and providing service to new markets. The company strives to
control operating costs by maintaining efficient operations, optimum capacity
utilization and strict budgetary controls. Increased technology investments
are expected to reduce costs and increase productivity while providing improved
information benefits for customers.

Two events materially impacted Yellow Freight's operating results in 1994. In
the first quarter, severe winter weather caused significant business
disruptions and higher operating expenses. In April, Yellow Freight
experienced a 24-day national labor strike by the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters (Teamsters). During this period, virtually no revenue was generated
to cover fixed and general/administrative costs. This resulted in a six
percent decrease in revenue in 1994 compared to 1993. The impact of decreased
tonnage and number of shipments handled was partially offset by price increases
and a stable pricing environment. However, a new four-year labor contract was
reached which provides Yellow Freight greater operational flexibility while
giving Teamster employees increased wages, benefits and job security. The
increased flexibility means that Yellow Freight has the ability to lower
operating costs by gaining the right to use more rail transportation and dock
casual workers whose rate of pay is fixed during the contract. In return, the
carriers agreed to a 14% increase in wages and benefits over the four-year
contract term.

Yellow Freight's salaries, wages and employees' benefits expense as a
percentage of revenue was essentially the same in 1994 and 1993. Slightly
lower employee levels were offset by wage and benefit increases of
approximately three percent effective

Item 1. Business. (cont.)

April 1 under the new labor agreement. In the third quarter, Yellow Freight
implemented a change of linehaul operations, which allows substantially more
freight to be transported via rail. This change, which was made possible by
the new labor agreement, is expected to hold down operating costs, reduce
capital expenditures for revenue equipment and improve service for customers.
Purchased transportation costs were higher in 1994 as a result of this
increased rail usage in the third and fourth quarters. With business near
pre-strike levels, a stable pricing environment, and a new four-year labor
agreement which will help reduce costs and improve efficiency, Yellow Freight
expects improved operating performance in 1995.

Preston Trucking had an annualized revenue increase of five percent in 1994
compared to 1993. However, their operating margin deteriorated slightly during
the year as a result of severe winter weather in the Northeast during the first
quarter, the impact of the second quarter strike and shipper uncertainty
concerning approval of the wage reduction agreement described below. Preston
Trucking saw a dramatic increase in revenue during the second quarter of 1994
when employees returned to work under an interim agreement with the Teamsters
after only six days on strike. The increased business adversely affected
service performance and costs, reducing profitability in the latter part of the
second quarter and into the third quarter. In mid-1994, the Teamster employees
of Preston Trucking approved a plan to reduce wages in return for a share of
profits if certain operating results are achieved. The plan lessens pay by
seven percent from standard wages under the new contract until April 1, 1995
and by five percent until April 1, 1996 when pay levels return to standard
contract wages. This plan replaced a one year, nine percent wage reduction
approved in March 1993, shortly after Preston Trucking was acquired by the
company.

Preston Trucking achieved significant service improvements in the fourth
quarter through the implementation of a new regional concept featuring a
170-door distribution center near Cleveland, Ohio. Called the SuperRegion, it
provides reduced transit times and superior service across an expanded
geographic area. This service began attracting new revenue during the quarter.
Preston Trucking plans to continue to leverage its new SuperRegion concept and
expects improvement in both revenue growth and operating profit. Revenue
growth, improved service and improved productivity are expected to produce
benefits in excess of the phase down of the wage reduction agreement.

In 1994 Saia maintained an operating margin similar to 1993 while expanding
geographically in Texas, Tennessee and Georgia. Start up costs for these
expansions burdened 1994 operating expenses while the full revenue benefits
will not be realized until 1995 and subsequent years. Saia achieved an
annualized revenue increase of 15% in 1994 compared to 1993 due to growth and
second quarter benefits from the labor strike. Smalley experienced improvement
in controlling its operating costs in 1994, while achieving four percent
revenue growth and absorbing some merger-related costs. Effective January 1,
1995, Smalley was merged into Saia to offer customers more comprehensive
regional coverage and to reduce costs. Merger-related costs in 1994 are
estimated to have negatively impacted Saia and Smalley's operating expenses by
$1 million. Saia, following the completion of its merger with Smalley
anticipates strong revenue growth by expanding both within and outside of their
present service area. Expansion costs and pricing pressures related to the
deregulation of intrastate operations may have some negative impact on
operating performance in 1995. However, benefits are expected from cost
savings as a result of the merger and revenue opportunities from the 1994 and
1995 expansions, including access to new intrastate markets.

Item 1. Business. (cont.)

The operations of the company are generally funded by cash flows generated from
operating activities except in periods of accelerated capital spending. The
company requires working capital to fund capital expenditures and pay
shareholder dividends. The rapid turnover of accounts receivable, effective
cash management and ready access to credit provided by commercial paper,
medium-term notes and flexible banking agreements allows the company to
effectively manage its working capital. Additionally, the company maintains
credit availability under a $100 million credit agreement to support the
commercial paper program and provide additional borrowing capacity. Total debt
increased by $21 million in 1994, primarily due to a higher level of capital
expenditures and the impact on cash flow of lower earnings. Commercial paper
borrowings and medium-term note issuances were used to meet these cash needs
and scheduled maturities of other debt. It is anticipated that 1995 capital
expenditures and shareholder dividends will be primarily financed through
internally-generated funds and to a lesser extent external borrowings.



Item 2. Properties.

At December 31, 1994, the company operated 671 freight terminals located in 50
states, Puerto Rico, parts of Canada and Mexico. Of this total, 314 were owned
terminals and 357 were leased, generally for terms of three years or less. The
number of vehicle back-in doors totaled 19,534, of which 14,846 were at owned
terminals and 4,688 were at leased terminals. The freight terminals vary in
size ranging from one to three doors at small local terminals, up to 304 doors
at Yellow Freight's largest consolidation and distribution terminal.
Substantially all of the larger terminals, containing the greatest number of
doors, are owned. In addition, the company and most of its subsidiaries own
and occupy general office buildings in their headquarters city.

At December 31, 1994, the company's subsidiaries operated the following number
of linehaul units: tractors - 5,367, 45' and 48' trailers - 6,465, and 27' and
28' trailers - 33,873. The number of city units operated were: trucks and
tractors - 8,362 and trailers - 5,775.

The above facilities and equipment are used in the company's predominant
industry, the interstate transportation of general commodity freight. The
company expects moderate growth in 1995 and has projected no significant
changes to its operational capacity. Projected net capital expenditures for
1995 are $175 million. Facility expenditures of $25 million will target
maintenance and expansion of existing locations and the construction or
purchase of new locations to improve efficiency and enter new markets in
selected areas. Revenue equipment expenditures of $85 million are estimated to
consist mostly of replacement units, similar to 1994. The anticipated increase
in rail use by Yellow Freight for 1995 resulted in lower projected revenue
equipment expenditures. There is expected to be an even split in revenue
equipment expenditures between Yellow Freight and the regional companies as a
group for 1995. Other operating property expenditures of $65 million are
primarily for improving efficiency through technological enhancements and
advanced information systems.

The remaining exhibits required by Item 7 of Regulation S-K are omitted
for the reason that they are not applicable or have previously been
filed.

(b) Reports on Form 8-K

On October 5, 1994, a Form 8-K was filed under Item 5, Other Events,
which reported that the company announced on September 29, 1994, that it
will record a charge to earnings in the third quarter of $6.7 million,
$4.1 million after taxes, or $.14 per share. This charge, recorded as
an extraordinary item, is to write-off the book value of its intrastate
operating rights. The non-cash charge resulted from the recent passage
of the Trucking Industry Regulatory Reform Act of 1994 which deregulates
the entry and rates for the intrastate operations of all transportation
companies.


On March 14, 1995, a Form 8-K was filed under Item 5, Other Events,
which reported that the company announced on March 9, 1995, that based
on business activity in January and February, it expects to report near
break-even results for the first quarter ended March 31, 1995.
Comparatively, the company had a net loss for the first quarter of 1994
of $6.4 million, or $.23 per share.

Yellow Freight System, the company's largest subsidiary, is expected to
report an improvement in profitability over the prior year's quarter due
to the benefits of improved weather. However, this gain will be
partially offset by some softening in seasonally adjusted business
levels relative to fourth quarter trends. Yellow Freight also incurrd
additional costs in the current quarter related to achieving new highs
in on-time service performance.

Preston Trucking Company expects to show significant improvement
year-to-year with break-even operating results for the current quarter
compared to an operating loss of $5.8 million in 1994's first quarter.
Improved weather and benefits from its SuperRegion offering contributed
to Preston Trucking's recovery.


On March 21, 1995, a Form 8-K was filed under Item 5, Other Events,
which reported that the company announced on March 14, 1995, that its
Board of Directors voted not to renew the company's Share Purchase
Rights Plan upon the Plan's scheduled expiration in 1996. The Plan is
commonly known as a "Poison Pill" and was intended to deter abusive
takeover tactics. The decision was made in response to general
criticism of such plans from large institutional shareholders.
Additionally, the takeover environment has changed significantly since
the Plan was implemented in 1986 and the risk that the company could be
the target of abusive takeover tactics is substantially reduced.
