Truckload rates reverse recent gains as winter slump begins

National Spot Rates: Van, Flatbed, Reefer

Van and reefer rates slide into winter, while flatbeds rebound

Jan 13 - 19 - Van rates slipped 1¢ per mile last week, dropping below December levels after a brief surge in the first half of January. This trend marks the start of a winter slump that is likely to last no later than mid-March. Reefer rates also lost traction, while flatbed rates rose in a counter-seasonal trend.
