Yellow keeps growing in China

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- Taking a cue from American athletes these last two weeks, the largest trucking and logistics company in the world is ready to make a big splash in China.

YRC Worldwide announced it is buying 65 percent of Shanghai Jiayu Logistics Co, one of China's largest trucking companies, for about $44.7 million.

The Kansas-based carrier said it expects to control the rest of the company by 2010 for up to $39 million, according to Reuters.

Shanghai Jiayu has about 3,000 trucks servicing 30,000 customers.
