"John and Katherine Cooper started Holland Motor Express with a strong set of core values: having integrity in all relationships, showing respect for each individual, working hard, excelling in all areas of customer service and continuously improving," said Scott Ware, chief network officer at YRC Worldwide and president of Holland. "These are the values our employees continue to live out today, carrying our founders' vision forward over the course of 90 years. We are humbled to have come this far, and we know we have the right people with the right service commitments in place, positioning us to be a valuable resource for customers well into the future."
