Spot market capacity eases and line haul rates drop across the board
National Spot Rates: Van, Flatbed, Reefer
Spot market cools in February
Feb 14 – 20 – While it’s not unusual to see spot rates drop in the first seven weeks of the year, last week’s decrease in spot rates and lower volumes for dry van and reefer freight is telling. Dry van load posts on the DAT Load Board dropped 11% week over week and reefer volumes were down by just over 19%, but flatbed continues to improve, posting a 9% week-over-week gain.
