Spot Market Insights
08/15/2022
Spot rates and volume fall in all segments in the latest week
Spot metrics in the Truckstop.com system were uniformly weaker during the week ended August 12 (week 32) as flatbed spot rates continued to fall more sharply than rates in dry van and refrigerated. The decline in flatbed rates was not as steep as it had been in each of the three preceding weeks, but it was still quite large for the segment. Total load postings fell for the fourth straight week and were below the comparable five-year average level for the first time since late June 2020.
