LTL trucking giant Sale of Akron building will eliminate up to 100 jobs

YRC Worldwide is selling the former Akron headquarters of Roadway and may eliminate up to 100 jobs in the Ohio city, according to the Akron Beacon Journal.

The Gorge Boulevard building that housed Roadway, once one of the largest less-than-truckload carriers in the country, will be sold to an industrial developer. The $4.3 billion LTL giant put the property on the block in 2009 and said last year it would cut about 80 jobs at the building Roadway occupied for decades.
