Forward-Looking Disclosures The information in this presentation is summary in nature and may not contain all information that is important to you. The Recipient acknowledges and agrees that (i) no representation or warranty regarding the material contained in this presentation is made by YRC Worldwide Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) or any of its affiliates and (ii) that the Company and its affiliates have no obligation to update or supplement this presentation or otherwise provide additional information. This presentation is for discussion and reference purposes only and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or other property. This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance of the Company and include statements about the Company’s expectations or forecasts for future periods and events. Specific forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and include, without limitation, words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. We disclaim any obligation to update those statements, except as applicable law may require us to do so, and we caution you not to rely unduly on them. We have based those forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events, and while our management considers those expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those we discuss in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This presentation includes the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing our financial results. Therefore, this measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income from operations, cash flows from operations, earnings per fully-diluted share or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under generally accepted accounting principles. You should be aware that this presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. A reconciliation of this measure to the most comparable measures presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles has been included in this presentation.

Slide 11

Recent Events 2015 Financial and Operational Highlights Adjusted EBITDA of $333.3 million compared to $244.5 million in 2014 Highest YTD Adjusted EBITDA since 2008 Executed strategy of prioritizing freight mix, yield improvements and profitability over market share and tonnage Improved 2015 consolidated operating ratio by 100 basis points to 98.1 Continued reinvesting in the business by spending $108.0 million on capital expenditures and entered into new operating leases for revenue equipment that have a capital value equivalent of $131.7 million for a total of $239.7 million in 2015 2015 cash provided by operating activities was $140.8 million, an improvement of $112.3 million compared to 2014 Standard and Poor’s upgraded YRCW’s corporate credit rating to B- from CCC+ in August 2015 S&P stated the Company’s strengthening operating condition, better operating efficiencies, earnings growth and improved liquidity position drove the upgrade decision


Slide 12

Opportunity for EBITDA Margin Growth & Further Deleveraging Significant opportunity for both segments to achieve margin improvements Assuming current market performance of an OR of 91 to 93, the long-term EBITDA margin segment goals are as follows: YRCF= 7.6% (equivalent to an OR of 95 – 96) Regional = 10.4% (equivalent to an OR of 93 – 94) Plan to achieve margin improvements includes reinvesting in the business Note: For comparison purposes, EBITDA for all companies is defined as Operating Income, excluding gains or losses from property sales, plus Depreciation and Amortization. EBITDA used to calculate EBITDA margin for YRCW above differs from the credit agreement definition of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA 10.4% 7.6% Note: The peer groups FY 2015 EBITDA and OR excludes XPO Logistics’ LTL Division


Slide 13

Reinvesting in the Business After several years of curtailing investment in the business, capital spending has resumed Fleet replenishment through operating leases beginning in 2013 Increased leasing activity due to greater financing options resulting from the Company’s improved financial condition Acquired 70 dimensioners since 2014. Dimensioning technology is used to better cost, price and plan freight loading and flow For FY 2015, the CapEx Equivalent (CapEx plus the Capital Value of Leases) was 5.0% of revenue. This brings the Company more in line with historical industry standards 2015 additions included over 1,300 new tractors and 1,500 new trailers
