FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                   YELLOW CORPORATION COMPLETES TENDER OFFER
                     TO ACQUIRE JEVIC TRANSPORTATION, INC.

OVERLAND PARK, KAN. -- Yellow Corporation (NASDAQ: YELL) announced today that it
has successfully completed its previously announced cash tender offer to
purchase the outstanding shares of common stock of Jevic Transportation, Inc. at
a price of $14 per share.

The offer expired on Wednesday, July 7, 1999 as of 12 midnight (EDT). At that
time, based on a preliminary count from the depository for the offer, 10,553,167
shares of Jevic common stock were tendered, including 101,200 shares which were
tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures. All shares have been
accepted for payment.

Yellow now beneficially owns approximately 98.6 percent of the outstanding
shares of Jevic. Yellow and Jevic now expect to complete a merger in which Jevic
becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of Yellow Corporation. All remaining Jevic
shareholders have the right to receive $14 per share in cash, payable according
to terms of the tender offer.

The aggregate purchase price of the stock, including transaction costs, is
approximately $162.4 million. Including debt assumption, the total transaction
is approximately $200 million. The acquisition is being financed under the
company's existing credit facilities.
