Yellow Roadway to buy rival USF
The trucking firm will buy its competitor in a deal worth $1.37 bil in cash and stock; Yellow Roadway will also assume an expected $99 mil in USF debt. Yellow will pay $639 mil cash, and value a USF share at nine-tenths a Yellow share; its shares closed at $61.31 on Fri.
