Restructuring [Abstract]
Network Optimization	Network Optimization In April 2013, our YRC Freight reporting segment committed to a plan to optimize its freight network. This optimization will reduce the number of handling and relay locations in an effort to improve customer service, increase linehaul density and load average, reduce empty miles and improve our ability to direct load with less handling. Costs associated with this plan, which consist of lease termination costs, employee separation costs and other exit costs, will be recorded at either their contractual amounts or their fair value. We estimate that these costs will total between $8.0 million and $12.0 million, substantially all of which we expect to be recorded in the second and third quarters of 2013 in the YRC Freight reporting segment. The projected timing and range of total costs is an estimate and may vary depending upon the actual exit transactions.

The entire disclosure for restructuring and related activities. Description of restructuring activities such as exit and disposal activities, include facts and circumstances leading to the plan, the expected plan completion date, the major types of costs associated with the plan activities, total expected costs, the accrual balance at the end of the period, and the periods over which the remaining accrual will be settled.
