FreightWaves, in conjunction with DAT and Nodal Exchange, are creating the first-ever Trucking Freight Futures contracts.
Trucking Freight Futures will help bring transparency to the $725 billion North American trucking industry and help participants mitigate price risks. DAT has created a North American trucking market spot lane price assessment methodology specifically for the settlement of the Trucking Freight Futures contracts. Monthly futures contracts will be listed on Nodal Exchange and cleared through Nodal Clear. These contracts will be financially settled against the average of DAT’s daily price assessments for the relevant lane.
