SEARCH FOR A JOB WITH OUR
COMPANY
Are all employment opportunities listed on this site?
All current, posted U.S. and Canadian job opportunities with our company are on this site.
We accept applications only through the site, so we strongly encourage you to search and apply online for positions that interest
you. Positions that have been filled are removed immediately from this site.
How do I search for positions?
- Click either United States or Canada below the Union heading (driver, dock worker, mechanic, etc.)
or the Non-Union heading (management, sales, operations, etc.). If you
are interested in a driving position, click a link in the Drivers Wanted
section at the right side of the page.
- Filter jobs and narrow your search by selecting the appropriate job
category and/or work location that you are interested in.
- Click the Search button.
- Click the job title you are interested in to view the job description.
- Apply online.
I searched but didn't see the right job for me. Should I send my resume
anyway?
No. Resumes and paper applications are no longer accepted. You must apply for an open, posted position
using our online system to be considered for employment. New jobs are
posted continually, so if you don't find a job opening now, come back soon and
look again. Or use our
Candidate Profile to receive email notifications of new
opportunities that match your interests.
How can I subscribe to be notified of future job openings?
Use our
Candidate Profile to elect to receive email notifications of future
openings that match your desired job preferences. Cancel your subscription at any time
by logging into the
Candidate Profile to change your settings.
If a notification of an opening is emailed to you, you will need to apply online
for that position.
What does it mean if I see a position posted on a third-party site
(i.e., HotJobs, America's Job Bank, etc.) but
cannot find it on this site?
All open positions are listed here. When positions are filled, they are
immediately removed from the site. If you see a position on a third-party
job board that is not posted here, it is most likely because the position has
been filled and the third-party job board has not updated its listings.
I received an email notification for a job but can't find it on
this site. Why?
The quickest way to find a specific job opening is to enter the job number in
the Keyword or Job Number Search box. If this does not find the position, the
job may have been filled. For this reason, we encourage you to respond to email
job notifications as soon as possible after receiving them.
It is possible that the notification you received is for an opening with
another YRCW subsidiary. Please check all job listings by visiting the
individual company sites at
http://www.yrcw.com/careers.
While viewing the job listings, I saw a position that would be perfect for
one of my friends. How can I notify my friend?
- Click the job title to view the description.
- Scroll down and then click Send This Job To A Friend.
- Type in your friend's email address then click Send; your friend will
receive the complete job posting and your message in email.
APPLY FOR A JOB
What is the best way to apply for a job with your company?
The only way to be considered for a position with our Company is to complete an
online application. We strongly recommend that you take advantage of the many benefits of applying
online for positions that interest you.
Benefits include:
- Your information will be immediately available to the recruiter and hiring
manager of the position.
- You can log in and use the information you already entered every time you apply for a
position with Yellow. (To do this, you must log in with the same username and
password that you used for previous applications)
- You can easily update your
Candidate Profile by logging in with your email
address and personal password.
- You may also use our
Candidate Profile and elect to receive email
notifications of new Yellow job opportunities that match your interests!
How long will it take me to complete a job application?
It usually takes 15 to 45 minutes for candidates to complete our online job
application the first time. If you use the same user name and password for
subsequent applications, the information you entered previously will already be
populated, and the application will take less time to complete.
What does the job application consist of?
The application consists of several pages. You will be asked how you heard about
the job and other questions, such as pre-screening questions, that help us
assess your skills and qualifications based on the job requirements. You will
also be asked to complete your personal information; work history; education (if
applicable); and voluntary, Equal Employment Opportunity, self-identification
data. Only complete applications will be considered. You will know your
application is complete when you have reached the final "Thank You" page at the
end of the application.
How do I apply for multiple jobs?
You must apply for each job individually. You can reuse the personal information
you already entered for prior applications by logging in with your previous user name
and personal password. For each application, you may be asked to answer some
additional, specific, job-related questions.
I applied before and now want to apply for a different job opening. Do I
have to enter all my details again?
No. Click the new position for which you wish to apply, and then login as a returning user by entering your user name and personal password
under "I have previously applied for a job or created my candidate profile". All
data that was available (personal information, work history, etc.) is
already entered for you. You may be asked to answer some additional job-specific
questions. Make sure that each page is complete and click Save/Continue
until you reach the "Thank You" page.
May I email or fax my resume or submit my resume or application
in person?
No. Sending us your resume through airmail, email or fax is discouraged. Resumes
are no longer considered. We strongly encourage you to take advantage of the
many benefits of applying online. If you don't have a personal computer,
computers are usually available at public libraries and state job service or
unemployment offices.
What if I don't have an email address?
If you don't have a personal email address, we strongly recommend that you sign
up for a free, web-based email account (Hotmail,
Yahoo!) and return
to our site. Any follow-up correspondence will go to the email address you used
to login.
What if I forgot my personal password?
- Go to the login page.
- Enter your user name under "I have previously applied for a job or
submitted my candidate profile".
- Click "Forgot Password?".
- If you created a security question when you initially created your
account, you will be asked to provide a response to this question and then to
create a new password. If you did not create a security question, a temporary
password will be emailed to you, allowing you to reset your password. This
e-mail will be sent within one hour of your request.
What should I do if I discover a mistake in my online information after
I've submitted my application?
We recommend that you find the job for which you applied in the job listing,
then re-apply. You can now make the needed corrections to the information
previously provided.You will only be able to update your application while the
position you applied for is still posted. Please make all updates as soon as
possible.
How do I know if I completed my application?
You should have received a "Thank You" page after you submitted the application.
In addition, you will receive an email, confirming receipt of your application
within one hour. This message will be sent to the email address you provided
when you registered as a user. Only candidates who complete the entire online application will
be considered for a position.
How do I save an application that I started and wish to finish later?
Click the Save & Continue button at the bottom of the last page you have
completed. Leave through the "EXIT" button and then return by applying to the same job with
your user name and personal password. You will be able to update your
application only while the position you applied for is still posted. Please make
all updates as soon as possible.

I created my Candidate Profile. Is that the same as applying?
No. A
Candidate Profile is simply a job-alert tool that will automatically
notify you about new job opportunities that match the specific criteria that you
defined in your profile (i.e., job category, work location, schedule,
etc.). If you are notified of a position that matches your profile, you will
need to apply for that specific position.

I update my profile?

Candidate Profile below the job listing. Login by using your
user name and personal password and make the necessary corrections.
I have a new email address. How can I update my profile?
Login, using your user name and personal password. Once inside your
Candidate Profile, simply update the email address and submit the changes. The
next time you login you can use your new email address. Please note that if
another user account has already been created with the email address you have
entered, the system will not allow you to use this email address.
I no longer wish to be contacted for job opportunities with your company. What
should I do?
- If you would like to stop receiving email notifications, click the
"Add/Update Candidate Profile" link.
- After you log in, using your user name and personal password, uncheck
the box in front of "Accept invitations by email on career opportunities
matching this profile".
HIRING PROCESS
I recently submitted my information for a position. What happens next?
- When you apply online for a specific job, completing the entire
application, you will receive an acknowledgement through email, and your
information immediately becomes available to the recruiter and hiring manager
responsible for the opening.
- Our recruiters and hiring managers review applications.
- Qualified candidates to be interviewed are contacted directly by the
hiring manager or recruiter.
- In the event that a more-qualified candidate is selected for the position,
you will receive an email message, letting you know about the
status of your application.
I'm interested in working for your company. May I speak with or email the
appropriate hiring manager or Human Resources department?
Unfortunately, we cannot respond to each candidate individually. We strongly
encourage you to take advantage of the benefits of applying online for positions
that interest you. By applying online, you will receive an email communication
if there is a change in the status of your application or in the status of the
position.
Can you tell me whether a job has been filled?
Positions that appear on the job list are open and active. If you do no longer see a
particular position, it has been filled or is no longer available.
ONLINE APPLICATION
NAVIGATION
When creating my New User Login, I entered a user name and got the message "A valid record already exists
under this user name". What does this mean?
You may have logged in before. Log in this time as a returning user by typing
your user name under "Create/Update Candidate Profile" and click "Forgot your
password?". If you created a security question when you initially created
your account, you will be asked to provide a response to this question and then
to create a new password. If you did not create a security question, a temporary passcode will be emailed to you, allowing you to reset your password. This
e-mail will be sent within one hour of your request.
If you are signing in for the first time and you receive this message, it is
most likely because another job seeker has registered with this user name.
Because user names can only be used once in the system, you will need to choose
a different user name. Choose a user name that is unique and will be unlikely to
have been used by another job seeker.
How can I proceed to the next question when the system will not allow me
to move forward?
You must complete all the required questions marked with an asterisk before you
may move forward with the application. In addition, if you are entering
information for Work Experience or Education, you will need to click the
"Confirm" button for each individual entry before moving forward to the next
page by clicking "Save & Continue."
What are required fields?
Required fields request data that is needed to complete your application and are
marked with an asterisk (*). If you do not enter information into a required
field, the system will alert you with an error message.
How do I save an application page?
Information entered in the pages of an online application or
Candidate Profile is saved when you move to the next page in the application
or profile flow by clicking Save/Continue.
I had some problems with my computer and couldn't finish my application.
How do I get back to it?
- Find the job for which you were applying in the job listing.
- Click the job you were applying for and log in as a returning user by entering your
user name and personal
password.
