Line haul rates return to normal January downward trend

National Spot Rates: Van, Flatbed, Reefer
Falling line haul rates offset by rising fuel surcharges

Jan. 17 – 23 – Seasonality returned to the spot market last week after surprising increases in the prior week. While higher fuel costs lead to increased all-in rates, the line haul portion for dry vans dropped 2 cents per mile, reefers fell 1 cent and flatbed declined 2 cents. These are still record-high monthly averages, though. Spot rates are still around 68 cents higher per mile than this time last year for all three equipment types combined. Load posts have doubled during that same time frame.
