Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

YRC Worldwide Inc. (the “Company”) is seeking to amend its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of July 22, 2011 (as amended, modified or supplemented prior to the date hereof, the “Term Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association as administrative agent. The Company is requesting, among other things, to reset the covenants regarding minimum Consolidated EBITDA, maximum Total Leverage Ratio and minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as such terms are defined in the Term Credit Agreement) for each of the remaining test periods, including reducing the relevant compliance thresholds for Consolidated EBITDA and the Interest Coverage Ratio by an average of approximately 25 – 35% and 30 – 40%, respectively, and increasing the relevant compliance thresholds for the Total Leverage Ratio by an average of approximately 35 – 55%.

YRCW Receivables LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “ABL Borrower”) is seeking to amend its Credit Agreement dated as of July 22, 2011 (as amended, modified or supplemented prior to the date hereof, the “ABL Credit Agreement”), by and among the ABL Borrower, the Company as servicer, the lenders a party thereto (the “ABL Lenders”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The ABL Borrower is requesting, among other things, to reset the Company’s minimum Consolidated EBITDA (as such term is defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) in a manner identical to the proposed amendment of minimum Consolidated EBITDA in the Term Credit Agreement.

Since October 2011, when the Company’s new management team approved its first forecast, the Company has exceeded its forecasted adjusted Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Term Credit Agreement and the ABL Credit Agreement) in the aggregate. The Company is continuing to execute against both qualitative and quantitative objectives included in its business plan and forecast.

There are no assurances that the Company and ABL Borrower will be successful in their negotiations with the Lenders and the ABL Lenders, respectively. Each of these amendments requires the approval of the respective lenders owning a majority of the outstanding borrowings thereunder.
