National Spot Rates: Van, Flatbed, Reefer

Looser capacity takes pressure off freight rates

Jan 11 – 17 – Truckload rates began to decline last week, with slower demand met with looser capacity. As a result, load-to-truck ratios fell for each trailer type, taking pressure off of what had previously been record high rates at the turn of the calendar year.

Truckload demand heats up to close year

National Spot Rates: Van, Flatbed, Reefer

Ratios soar during shortened work week

Dec 28 – Jan 3 – Shippers looked to move freight before closing the books on 2020, but the shortened holiday week made truckload capacity more difficult to source. Higher load-to-truck ratios for each segment led to higher rates to end the year.
