KANSAS CITY -- Beleaguered LTL heavyweight YRC isn't any closer to bankruptcy despite a recent announcement that it experienced a "milestone failure" in new labor and cost restructuring efforts.
William Trubeck, YRC board member and interim chief financial officer, told Dow Jones News Service Monday that he's optimistic the company will survive and downplayed a warning in YRC's annual report that lenders could declare the company in default on loan covenants.
In the filing, YRC outlined several outcomes from Chapter 11, which could inevitably spell the end of the company:
"It looks to me like (lenders, the Teamsters, and others) are working toward the same goal, which is to pull this thing together, without pushing YRC into bankruptcy," he told Dow Joes.
"Nobody benefits or is anxious to see YRC go out of business."
