Item 5.  Other Events

Yesterday, Yellow Corporation (Nasdaq: YELL) announced that following the
distribution, on or near October 1, 2002, of the shares of its SCS
Transportation, Inc. subsidiary (SCST), Yellow will continue to trade on The
Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "YELL," and SCST has been approved to
trade as a separate issue on The Nasdaq National Market under the symbol "SCST."
Yellow further announced that "when issued" trading was expected to develop for
both Yellow and SCST during the period beginning September 11, 2002 and end with
the distribution date.

The Nasdaq National Stock Market has now informed Yellow that "when issued"
trading of Yellow common stock, reflecting the distribution of SCST, is expected
to begin tomorrow, September 12, 2002, while "when issued" trading of SCST
common stock is expected to begin today. The symbol for "when issued" shares of
Yellow will be "YELLV," and the symbol for "when issued" shares of SCST will be
"SCSTV." "When issued" trading is still expected to end with the distribution
date for both Yellow and SCST when they will trade separately.

When shares of Yellow (YELL) are purchased during the "when issued" period,
shareholders will receive Yellow shares plus a "due bill" for SCST shares. A
"due bill" represents the obligation of the seller to deliver to the buyer SCST
shares received on the distribution date.

Prior to executing a stock trade during the "when issued" trading period,
shareholders should check with their stockbrokers, banks or other nominees for
details regarding the "when issued" trading markets for SCST common stock and
Yellow common stock to ensure that they understand which security they are
buying or selling.
