YRC Worldwide Inc. on Thursday reported a third-quarter profit and a nearly 6 percent increase in revenue, as its major trucking operations improved performance and hauled more freight.
Overland Park-based YRC’s quarterly profit of $1.2 million represented a sharp turnaround from last year’s third-quarter loss of $44.4 million.
The trucking company, which operates YRC Freight and several other companies, said revenue climbed to $1.32 billion in the quarter from $1.25 billion in the third quarter last year.
