YRC Worldwide
YRC Worldwide (rebranded as Yellow Corporation in 2021) was a holding company whose subsidiaries — YRC Freight, Holland, Reddaway, New Penn, and HNRY Logistics — provided less-than-truckload (LTL) freight transportation, brokerage, and logistics services across North America. The company ceased operations on July 30, 2023 and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on August 6, 2023, ending nearly 100 years of operation. Bankruptcy asset sales redistributed terminals and equipment to Saia, XPO, Estes, and other carriers; no public developer APIs were ever published.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles YRC Worldwide the way a machine reads it — 13 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — YRC Worldwide scores 12.3/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
