DAT North American Freight Index
This summer’s spot market rates were the highest since 2015, and freight availability is approaching levels not seen since 2014. August continued the trend with a 6.4 percent increase in load volume. At the end of the month, Hurricanes Harvey and Irma — and, to a lesser degree, wildfires in California, Oregon, Washington, and Montana — destroyed lives and property, and caused massive supply chain disruptions. As emergency relief efforts began, the additional pressures on capacity led to truck shortages in freight markets all over the country.
