Retailers replenish inventories, while snow delays year-end shipments
Dec 23 – 29 – Rates rose during the short holiday week, as spot market activity dropped off for two days, beginning early on Christmas Eve. Surprisingly, load-to-truck ratios shot up higher for all equipment types at the end of the holiday week, due to a combination of retail returns, snowstorms in the Midwest, and a year-end rush by shippers who want to close their books on a high note.
