Weekly Brief
Spot market activity slows across the board
Feb 13 – 26 – The gap between contract and spot market truckload rates remains wide as we continue through what is traditionally the quietest part of the calendar for freight markets. Load board activity on the DAT One network was down last week, with both truck and load posts declining. DAT iQ forecasts point to the current inverted market (where contract rates are above spot rates) to remain in place likely through the first half of the year.
