From ocean container flows to intermodal rail movements and truckload tenders, our white paper lays out the impact of the port strike.
Tender volumes, tender rejection rates and spot rate all drop in the final full week of the third quarter.
Many of the signs of the end to the freight recession have faded, at least in the short run. A strike and the aftermath of a major hurricane are looming disruptors but probably not enough to sustainably shift the market. But the data still points to the end of this historically loose environment.
This monthly report analyzes the current state of the freight market based on critical insights from our SONAR platform. September’s session includes an overview of current freight market conditions and macroeconomic trends, along with a forward look at Q4. All insights are provided by FreightWaves’ Craig Fuller, Founder and CEO, and Zach Strickland, Head of […]
Tender volumes have started to flatten out while tender rejection rates have picked up a little steam this week.
Here are five takeaways from FreightWaves’ State of Freight webinar for September.
Tender volumes have continued to show strength, but the market remains oversupplied. Hurricane Francine had little impact on the market
Intermodal providers are taking share with grace, but is it counterproductive to pricing gains?
Even a short work stoppage by the ILA would greatly disrupt freight networks. SONAR charts show evidence of shippers looking to avoid getting caught in a potential ILA strike which has impacts on maritime, rail intermodal and truckload data.
Tender rejection rates suffered the largest weekly decline in the past 6 weeks while tender volumes are being impacted by the holiday weekend
The truckload market appears to be increasingly stable through a period when it normally isn’t. While the immediate future appears uneventful, the holiday shipping season is anything but certain.
Tender volumes closed August higher, up 3.13% year over year. A slight rise in rejection rates before Labor Day was still below July peaks.
Empty containers could be a strong transportation demand signal for September, but the market appears ready to handle it, for now.
Tender volumes increased over the past week, while tender rejection rates remained unchanged. The next week will be important for the direction of the freight market in the fourth quarter.
Tender volumes started to gain a little positive momentum over the past week while tender rejection rates inched slightly lower…
The lack of volatility in produce-hauling rates out of California this summer supports the idea that the refrigerated market has more than seasonal pressure pushing rates higher.
The freight market is fairly stable to start August as spot rates and tender rejection rates experienced little change week over week…
Inventory pull-forward has been the driving theory behind container import growth, but data suggests that may not be as true as people think. What are the implications to domestic transportation markets?
Spot rates moved slightly higher in the final week of July, while rejection rates and volume levels continued to retreat from recent highs.
The partnership between FreightWaves SONAR and WeatherOptics will provide SONAR users with up-to-date information about environmental risks and weather impacts to their supply chains.
