XPO opens three new service centres
PRESS RELEASE XPO Opens Three New Service Centers in Growing Freight Markets to Enhance Service for ...
In a story headed “Yellow sees tonnage plummet, books Q4 loss”, FreightWaves (FW) reported that less-than-truckload carrier Yellow “ceded more tonnage” during Q4 22 as part of a “companywide overhaul aimed at streamlining costs and driving yields higher”.
FW added:
“Yellow’s (NASDAQ: YELL) tonnage fell 25% year over year (y/y) in the quarter, down 35% on a two-year comparison. That far outpaces peers, most of which reported tonnage declines in the mid- to high-single-digit range for the quarter, with two-year comps remaining up single digits.
“However, revenue per hundredweight (yield) growth, was again better than that of the industry. The metric was up 12% y/y in the fourth quarter, 29% higher on a two-year comp. Other competitors logged a mid- to high-single-digit yield increase in the period.”
