Stifel Nicolaus reports LTL yields ($/ton) running about 5% ahead of yields at the same time last year, but still well below yields seen prior to the recession. For 2011 Stifel is projecting 5-7 percent annual increases and then tapering off to less than 5% in 2012. It is important to keep in mind that yield is not the equivalent of price and can be influenced by changes in weight per shipment, length of haul, and freight classification.
