YRC Worldwide regional less-than-truckload carrier USF Holland closed terminals, including its Holland, Mich. terminal, due to weak freight demand. USF Holland closed 11 terminals in the northeast in March.
In a continuing effort to “improve service performance, reduce costs and maintain competitiveness,” said a YRC spokeswoman, USF Holland will close terminals in Bensenville, Ill.; Erie, Pa.; Mansfield, Ohio, and in Holland and Pontiac, Mich. The carrier will continue to serve the same customers by consolidating operations at regional service centers.
“Customers shipping to or from these markets – and those located within them – will continue to experience the same level of speed, reliability and claim-free performance that they have come to expect from Holland,” the company said.
