Freight Market Update – October 20, 2020 As we predicted earlier this month, there is a slight, temporary decline in overall tenders compared to the last couple of weeks. This trend should continue into next week, then the holiday increase will pick up right after Halloween and continue to rise through mid-December. Even with the […]
Temporary Plateau There is no change from last week with freight volumes holding steady overall with 45%-50% more freight tendered weekly, compared to this time last year. Is this where the freight market will stay? Unfortunately, it will probably get a bit worse before any sustainable relief occurs. As shown within the top chart (according […]
The Peak Is Here To Stay Freight volumes are holding steady overall, with approximately 45%-50% more freight on the road, weekly, than this time last year.

For the past two […]
This week there is a good news/bad news situation for the freight market. The good news is that tender volumes are decreasing and tender rejections are coming down slightly.

50% More Freight Than 2019 Holds Steady Freight volumes are holding steady since last week, with approximately 50% more freight on the road than this time last year. This steady surge in truckloads stems from consumers changing their spending habits, with more at-home-meals/home improvements/etc; an influx of shipments arriving to the ports that were […]
Another record week in terms of freight volume being tendered. The United States now has 50.45% more tendered loads than this time last year. This is 20% higher than the March restock peak. Last week it looked as though tender rejections had peaked, but unfortunately, that was not the case. At 24.35% of loads being […]
Daily Load Volumes Increase Steadily 2-3%/Week Daily tender volumes continue to rise. They have risen another 14% in the past month and are increasing steadily at 2-3% each week, mostly due to manufactures repositioning their facilities to accommodate new demand.
