Freight Rates and Ratios Rise at End of Month 
Van Rates Add 6¢
Aug 28 – Sep 3 – Van rates jumped 6¢ and reefers added 3¢ last week. Even flatbeds got a 1¢ raise, due to an increase in the fuel surcharge. Load-to-truck ratios got a healthy boost, so the higher rates may outlast end-of-month and pre-holiday pressure.
