Weekly Brief

Load-to-truck ratios rise as truck posts fall

Oct 24 – 30 – Spot market truckload capacity tightened as shippers moved more freight at the close of October, but the higher ratios did not push national average spot rates upward. Minus fuel, the line haul portion of the national average van rate is even with 2017 and 2018 levels.

The report includes a weekly snapshot of the rolling month-to-date national average trucking rates for van, reefer and flatbed. National average rates in Trendlines are for lanes of 250 miles or more.

Trendlines also includes national supply and demand metrics based on load and truck posts on the DAT One load board network by freight brokers, shippers and carriers.
