July 27 – Aug 2 – Supply chain disruptions caused by COVID-19 pushed more freight to the spot market, with national average truckload rates for vans, reefers and flatbeds each hitting their highest marks of the year in July. Tighter capacity also pushed load-to-truck ratios higher in the last week of the month, keeping pressure on prices.
