This group included USF Bestway, USF Dugan, USF Holland, and USF Reddaway plus truckload carrier USF Glen Moore and Roadway's regional LTL subsidiary, New Penn. The four USF regional LTL carriers continued as independent subsidiaries of a new Yellow Roadway subsidiary, YRC Regional Transportation. In 2005, its parent organization USF, was acquired by Yellow Roadway Corp, the largest LTL carrier in the US. USF Reddaway grew into a super-regional trucking carrier by the early 2000s serving the western US and Canada. In 2003, USFreightways changed its name to USF Corp. USF Reddaway retained its headquarters in Clackamas County, Oregon. The parent company also merged its TNT United Truck Lines subsidiary into what was at the same time renamed USF Reddaway Inc. and swapped the "TNT" prefix in its subsidiaries names to "USF". In 1996 TNT Freightways changed its name to USFreightways Corp.
After several weeks of strikes exceeding 75,000 employees, both carriers pulled out of TMI and soon had their own deal in place with the Teamsters. (TMI), a negotiations agency that represented most major US carriers. Both TNT Freightways carriers were members of Trucking Management Inc. However, in April 1994, TNT Holland and TNT Red Star were both impacted by the 1994 Teamsters strike which effected over 20 of the largest trucking companies across the US. In January 1993, TNT Freightways bought out its former parent's remaining 20% ownership. The new company held six regional LTL carriers, including TNT Reddaway, and three logistics companies.
At the time, the offering turned out to be the largest trucking company IPO in US history at US$280 million. In 1992, TNT spun off its US trucking operations, renamed TNT Freightways Corp., expecting to raise US$240 million in a stock float of 80% of the company. Reddaway would be operated as an independent subsidiary under TNT North America called TNT Reddaway Truck Line. TNT already owned TNT Red Star Express Lines in the northeast, TNT Holland Motor Express in the midwest, and TNT Bestway Transportation in the southeast. The acquisition was part of TNT's expansion goal to own a trucking company for each region in the US. In 1989, TNT North America, the North American subsidiary of Australian conglomerate TNT Ltd., acquired Reddaway which at the time was operating 16 terminals all in the northwest US. He received a patent for the device in 1975. Walt later invented spray guard rain flaps for the trucking industry which he called The Reddaway System. His son, Walter Wayne “Walt” Reddaway (1915–1979), later succeeded him and led the company until his retirement in 1970. He managed the company with his wife, Ethel May Joslin Reddaway (1886–1956). in Oregon City, Oregon with one Ford Model T truck. USF Reddaway was founded in June 1919 by William Arthur "Art" Reddaway (1888–1957) as Reddaway's Truck Line, Inc.
