Numerous important factors, including those factors identified as in the Yellow Roadway Annual Report on Form 10-K and other of the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the fact that the assumptions set forth in this Current Report on Form 8-K could prove incorrect, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements.

The furnishing of the information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report is not intended to, and does not, constitute a representation that such furnishing is required by Regulation FD or that the information Item 7.01 of this Current Report contains is material investor information that is not otherwise publicly available.
