Item 5.02 Departure of Directors and Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

On February 24, 2006, the Governance Committee of the Board of Directors of YRC Worldwide Inc. (“YRC” or the “Company”) received notice from Frank Doyle that Mr. Doyle will not stand for re-election to YRC’s board of directors at YRC’s next annual meeting of stockholders due to his retirement under the Company’s bylaws upon reaching age 75. As Mr. Doyle completes his term of board service, the Company has expressed its appreciation to him for his substantial contributions and dedicated service. There were no disagreements between Mr. Doyle and the Company on any matter relating to YRC’s operations, policies or practices.

Due to Mr. Doyle’s retirement from board service and Paul Liska’s recent decision not to stand for re-election to YRC’s board, the Company’s board of directors has amended its bylaws to change the number of the Company’s directors from eleven to nine, effective immediately preceding the company’s next annual meeting of its stockholders, which is expected to take place on
May 16, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. Overland Park, Kansas Time (with a record date of March 27, 2006).
