Yellow Sees Red Over Oil Prices

As the CEO of $10 billion trucking company, Bill Zollars, you’d think, would spend a few minutes a day thinking about the price of oil and worst-case scenarios.

Or not.

Zollars runs YRC Worldwide, the Overland Park transportation company. Last week, Zollars and two railroad executives spoke at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon at the Hyatt Regency. Zollars said some sensible things. On the topic of sustainability, he said that YRC instructs its drivers to check into hotels rather than watch porn and sleep in their cabs with their engines running. (OK, he didn’t mention porn.)
