Truckload rates rise again, but not for much longer

National Spot Rates: Van, Flatbed, Reefer

Load-to-truck ratios falter, rates are likely to follow

Mar 23 - 29 - Rates continued to rise last week for van and reefer equipment, due to retail inventory replenishment, but declining load-to-truck ratios signal that rates are likely to fall this week. The Southeast may remain strong, however, as ratios are still rising on northbound lanes from that region.
