PART I




Item 1.  Business

(a)   General development of the business.Roadway Corporation (the Company or
Roadway), a Delaware corporation, is a holding company that was formed on May
30, 2001 by a reorganization of the corporate structure of Roadway Express,
Inc. In connection with the reorganization, Roadway Express, Inc. became a
wholly owned direct subsidiary of Roadway Corporation. The Companys
headquarters are at 1077 Gorge Boulevard, Akron, Ohio, 44310.

Roadway Express, Inc. (REX), a Delaware corporation founded in 1930, is the
primary operating subsidiary of the Company. REX and its subsidiaries provide
long-haul less-than-truckload (LTL) freight services on major city-to-city
routes (lanes) in North America, and on international lanes to and from North
America. Based on reported revenue for 2002, REX is one of the largest LTL
motor carriers in the United States.

On November 30, 2001, Roadway acquired Arnold Industries, Inc. (Arnold) of
Lebanon, Pennsylvania (NASDAQ: AIND) for $21.75 per share in cash, an aggregate
consideration of approximately $560 million. Arnolds subsidiaries are New
Penn Motor Express, a regional next-day LTL carrier, and Arnold Transportation
Services (ATS), an irregular route truckload (TL) carrier. Arnold was renamed
Roadway Next Day Corporation subsequent to the acquisition. On December 26,
2002, the Company entered into an agreement to sell ATS to a management group
led by the units president and a private equity firm, for approximately $55
million. New Penn will continue to operate independently under its brand name.
See Notes 3 and 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Roadways 2002
Annual Report to Shareholders, which are on pages 24-26 of Exhibit 13 of this
filing, for more details regarding these transactions.

The abrupt Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection filing and cessation of operations
on September 2, 2002 by Consolidated Freightways, one of Roadway Express major
competitors, resulted in increased freight levels for Roadway Express during
the fourth quarter of 2002. On an annual basis, the increased freight levels
in the fourth quarter nearly offset the effect of the slow economic recovery
that we experienced in the first three quarters of 2002. The impact of the
Consolidated Freightways shutdown is discussed in more detail in the
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, which appears on pages 13  21 of Roadways Annual Report to
Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2002, and is filed with this Form
10-K as pages 1-13 of Exhibit 13.

(b)   Segment information.The information in Note 5 of the Consolidated
Financial Statements on pages 29-31 of Roadways Annual Report to Shareholders
for the year ended December 31, 2002 is filed with this Form 10-K as pages
26-28 of Exhibit 13, and is incorporated herein by reference.

(c)   Description of the business.REX provides transportation of general
commodity freight by motor vehicle, in North America and elsewhere. General
commodity freight includes apparel, appliances, automotive parts, chemicals,
food, furniture, glass, machinery, metal and metal products, non-bulk petroleum
products, rubber, textiles, wood, and miscellaneous manufactured products. REX
also offers LTL service within Canada and Mexico through its subsidiaries, and
offers import and export service for more than 100 additional countries
worldwide through offshore agents. The Company serves over one-half million
customer sites in North America. New Penn offers LTL service primarily in New
England and the Middle Atlantic States.

Roadway is affected directly by the state of the overall economy, with over 90%
of the Companys revenue is from customers operating in the following economic
segments: manufacturing, 24%; wholesale trade, 24%; retail trade, 27%; and
transportation and utilities, 16%. Seasonal fluctuations affect tonnage,
revenue, and operating results. Normally, the fall of each year is the
Companys busiest shipping period; the months of December and January of each
year are the slowest. Shipment levels, operating costs, and operating results
can also be adversely affected by inclement weather. During 2002, the largest
customer accounted for 6% of the Companys total revenues, and the ten largest
customers accounted for approximately 20% of the Companys total revenue.

The LTL business is extremely competitive, often resulting in narrow margins.
REX and New Penn operate in different segments of the trucking market and do
not compete with each other for business. Roadways primary competitors in the
national LTL market are Yellow Transportation, ABF Freight System, U.S.
Freightways, and FedEx Freight. New Penn competes with a substantial number of
regional carriers that operate in the same geographic area, some of which are
larger than New Penn. Both companies also compete for LTL freight with other
national and international LTL carriers as well as regional LTL motor carriers,
truckload carriers, small package carriers, private carriage, freight
forwarders, railroads and airlines. Competition for freight is based primarily
upon price and service (transit time). To maintain and improve market share,
Roadway offers and negotiates various

discounts. Roadway works directly with customers on an account-by-account
basis to find ways to improve efficiencies and contain costs to improve both
customer and carrier profitability.

Deregulation of most of the trucking industry, begun in 1980 and largely
completed by Congress in 1995, has given rise to intense competition. New
entrants, some of which have grown rapidly in regional markets, include some
non-union carriers that may have lower labor costs than REX and New Penn.

During 2002, the Companys operating subsidiaries averaged 27,000 employees.
Approximately 75% of the Companys employees are represented by various labor
unions, primarily the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (the Teamsters).
The current National Master Freight Agreement with the Teamsters expires on
March 31, 2003. On February 6, 2003, the Company and the Teamsters announced
that they had reached a tentative agreement on a new five-year contract. The
Company believes that its current relations with the Teamsters are
satisfactory.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), which retains limited oversight
authority over motor carriers, currently regulates the Companys operations in
interstate commerce. Federal legislation preempts regulation by the states of
price, routes, and service in intrastate freight transportation. The Company,
like other interstate motor carriers, is subject to certain safety requirements
governing interstate operations prescribed by the DOT. The Company has earned
a satisfactory rating (the highest of three grading categories) from the DOT.
In addition, vehicle dimensions and driver hours of service remain subject to
both Federal and state regulation. More restrictive limitations on vehicle
weight and size, trailer length and configuration, or driver hours of service
could adversely affect the operating results of the Company.

At December 31, 2002, REX operated a total of 10,000 tractors and 33,000
trailers. The average age of the intercity fleet was less than seven years.
New Penn operates 800 tractors and 1,600 trailers. There is sufficient
capacity to meet normal requirements. Short-term leased equipment is used to
meet peak demands.

(e)   Available Information. The Companys Internet address is
www.roadwaycorp.com and the investor relations section of the Companys website
is located at www.roadwaycorp.com/investors. The Company makes available free
of charge, on or through the investor relations section of its website, annual
reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on
Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as soon as reasonably
practicable after the Company electronically files such material with, or
furnishes it to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
