Capacity remains tight as long-distance drivers become harder to find.

May 31 – June 6 – With overall truckload demand increasing slowly — but rising far more rapidly in the retail freight sector — the gap between supply and demand remains wide. The national averate van rate for June was up to $2.72/mile, while reefer rate increased to $3.13/mile. Flatbed spot rates are plateauing around the $3.14/mile mark, as spot market volumes slid for the fifth week in a row.
