Yellow Corp., the company formerly known as YRC Worldwide, announced a new initiative yesterday that seeks to bring up to 1,500 new truck drivers to the industry. The effort comes amid a persistent driver shortage that some economists believe has worsened during the pandemic. Yellow will offer an eight-week paid CDL training program at 12 locations. If the student is away from home during the training, Yellow will pay for travel and accommodations.
