Truckload demand dips heading into holiday season

National Spot Rates: Van, Flatbed, Reefer

Ratios fall with signs of prices plateauing

Nov 9 – 15 – With holiday retail freight in place and consumer packaged goods now sitting in warehouses for online shoppers, truckload demand on the spot market has declined. That’s pushed load-to-truck ratios lower, but localized capacity constraint continues to keep pressure on pricing.
