Yellow Corporation bringing new jobs to Irving, Texas & America
Yellow Corporation is recruiting employees for new positions in Irving, Texas. On Wednesday, April 21, and Thursday, April 22, Yellow will host a hiring event as the trucking company looks to fill jobs including mechanics, local drivers, dockworkers, and linehaul drivers. Yellow intends to hire qualified individuals for more than 120 positions in Irving immediately with more positions opening nationwide.
Yellow is the second-largest less-than-truckload carrier and the fifth largest transportation company in North America. Yellow’s 30,000 employees are based in all 50 states as well as Puerto Rico, Canada, and Mexico.
Yellow’s Irving hiring day is one of more than two dozen similar recruiting events taking place across America between now and July. By the end of 2021, Yellow aims to hire thousands of new employees nationwide with at least 1,500 of those positions earmarked for commercial drivers.
“Seventy percent of America’s freight moves on our nation’s highways, so it’s essential that the industry continue to ramp up hiring to keep the U.S. supply chain humming along,” said Darren Hawkins, Chief Executive Officer of Yellow.
“Yellow pays very competitive wages and offers outstanding healthcare benefits for employees,” said Mr. Hawkins. “For those with trucking experience or not, or folks looking for a new opportunity or needing to make a job change due to pandemic fallout, it’s an exciting time to build a career and a future at Yellow.”
In addition to the April 21-22 recruiting days, Yellow continues to sponsor its Dallas Driver Academy, which provides classroom and road training for those interested in careers as commercial drivers. For information on dates, please contact Yellow at (833) 475-8201.
“Hiring is our number one priority,” said Hawkins. “Our freight professionals serve as the economic lifeline to nearly every community in America. Transportation and trucking people are patriots.”
On Wednesday, April 21 and Thursday, April 22, Yellow’s recruiting event will take place at YRC Freight Irving, 200 Beltline Rd., Irving, Texas 75061 from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM each day.
