FleetPride, the nation's largest independent heavy-duty truck parts distributor, today announced a strategic parts supply agreement with Yellow Roadway Corporation, one of the world's largest providers of transportation services.

As a new vendor, FleetPride will work with Yellow Roadway Corporation to improve efficiency and reduce costs associated in acquiring heavy repair parts. Standardizing repair part specifications and leveraging existing compatibilities at Yellow Transportation and Roadway Express should realize an overall reduction in equipment maintenance expense.

"FleetPride's geographic footprint, business systems capability, and commitment to providing superior customer service are all resources that we bring to this relationship."
