Canadian Great Western Express

Company History: A Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada based trucking company that operated from 1991 to 2003. Reimer had 2,500 employees in companies including Inter-City, Canadian Great Western Express, and Fleet Express Services. It also operated courier Fast-Pac and specialized trucking operations Big Freight and Fast-as-Flight. In 1997, Reimer was acquired by American trucking company Roadway Express[16] for US$15 million and changed its name to Reimer Express. Reimer continued as an independent subsidiary of Roadway and Roadway's Canadian operations were shut down and merged into Reimer's. At the time, Reimer was the second largest trucking company in Canada at CA$117 million revenue in 1996 and Roadway was the second largest in the United States with revenues of about US$2.3 billion trailing only Yellow Corporation.

By the time Yellow Corporation acquired Roadway in 2003, Yellow was the second largest American trucking company and Roadway was the largest. The acquisition cost Yellow US$1.1 billion and made Reimer Express a subsidiary of the newly formed parent company, Yellow Roadway Corp.[19] In 2006, Yellow Roadway changed its name to YRC Worldwide and in 2009, Yellow Canada's operations were merged into Reimer which was renamed YRC Reimer.

In 2019, YRC retired the Reimer name rebranding its Canadian operations YRC Freight. This move marked the end of independent operations for Reimer.From Wikipedia

Successor/Parent History: YRC Freight traces its origins to 1924 when A.J. Harrell, an Oklahoma City entrepreneur, founded a bus and taxi service that he named Yellow Cab Transit Co. He shortened the name to Yellow Transit Co. in 1926.
