National Spot Rates: Van, Flatbed, Reefer

Downward trend has not flattened out yet

Apr. 13 – 19 – There’s not much good news for truckers this week. Spot rates continue to fall for vans, reefers, and flatbeds, and declining load-to-truck ratios signal that a rebound is not happening just yet. The weak freight market reflects the economic malaise due to coronavirus-related shutdowns and historically low oil prices.

For more info on lane rates, read the Rate Trend of the Week on the DAT blog.
