Key Takeaways:

  • Yellow Corp.'s bankruptcy estate is selling four terminals for $6.8 million to non-LTL companies.
  • The sale includes terminals in Tennessee, Connecticut, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
  • Yellow is rejecting unexpired leases on four more terminals.
  • Over 200 Yellow terminals, valued at approximately $2.4 billion, have been sold since the liquidation began.

In a motion before a federal bankruptcy court in Delaware, defunct less-than-truckload carrier Yellow Corp.’s estate is seeking to sell four terminals valued at $6.8 million.

The owned properties include a 68-door terminal in Knoxville, Tennessee, valued at $2.6 million, a 46-door facility in Southington, Connecticut ($2.8 million), a 31-door terminal near Baton Rouge, Louisiana ($1.2 million), and a 12-door location in Tupelo, Mississippi ($285,000).

The named buyers include construction and building services companies as well as a wholesale fuel and lubricant distributor. It appears no LTL carrier was active in the latest asset sales.

As the liquidation process draws to a close, fewer carriers have been involved. The last sale motion to the court included some transportation and logistics companies, including Saia (NASDAQ: SAIA), but also other non-LTL entities.

A separate filing with the court on Friday showed that Yellow is rejecting unexpired leases on four terminals with a total of 328 doors.

Yellow’s estate has unloaded more than 200 terminals valued at roughly $2.4 billion since the liquidation began at the end of 2023.
