The Teamsters Union said, citing legal notice they received from the Yellow Corp., that the trucking company has ceased its operations and filed for bankruptcy after failing to pay millions in debt. 

"The Teamsters Union was served legal notice today that Yellow Corp. is ceasing operations and filing for bankruptcy," the trade union said in a statement on Monday.

"Yellow has historically proven that it could not manage itself despite billions of dollars in worker concessions and hundreds of millions in bailout funding from the federal government. This is a sad day for workers and the American freight industry," Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien was quoted in the statement as saying.
