Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 5(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	The original Form 3 filed by the reporting person mistakenly excluded 2,747 shares of the issuer's stock that the reporting person received upon consummation of the merger of Roadway Corporation into Yankee LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the issuer, in exchange for 2,767 shares of common stock of Roadway Corporation. Because of this error, these 2,747 shares were mistakenly excluded from reporting in Column 5 of Table 1 in all Forms 4 filed by the reporting person prior to January 31, 2005. The 8,879 shares shown in this Form 3 Amendment are the number of shares of the issuer's common stock that the reporting person directly held as of December 11, 2003. As of January 31, 2005, the reporting person directly holds 42,489 shares of the issuer's common stock, which includes the 2,747 shares mentioned above. Prior reports of the number of shares of the issuers stock that the reporting person indirectly holds in his 401(k) account are correct.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, See Instruction 6 for procedure.
