FreightWaves releases air temperature forecasts and fleet count data in SONAR

FreightWaves continues to enhance the SONAR platform by adding the following new data and features this week:

• Air temperature added to the location forecast data viewable in the mapping widget

• Added new index category to the existing freight data grid, which allows the user to filter data by specific categories

• Redesigned the build watchlist function to make it easier to build different types of watchlists. Users are now able to browse, search, and use existing in a single view

• Added FMCSA fleet count data. This monthly data provides insight into how many fleets are registering with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, which gives the user insight into how many new trucking companies are entering the market. It will give an indication of how the trucking sector is growing

1. Total count of fleets authorized for hire – FCFH
