BBC World Service - Business Matters, US trucking giant Yellow files for bankruptcy

Yellow files for bankruptcy after running trucks across America for almost a century

US trucking firm Yellow has filed for bankruptcy and will be closing down. Its collapse will force 30,000 people out of work.

US trucking company Yellow has filed for bankruptcy and will be closing down. The company had received a $700mn Covid-19 relief loan from the Trump administration during the summer of 2020. So will the loan be repaid? And what does it mean for the 30,000 workers expected to lose their jobs? 

Also Roger Hearing finds out why Zoom is now calling time on homeworking - as they ask employees within 50 miles of a company office to go in at least two days a week.

And apparently Americans are eating their burgers and fries at home, in their cars and at the office. In fact anywhere but at the fast-food restaurants themselves. McDonald’s, Burger King want big investments in eating areas, prompting pushback from franchisees.
