West coast spot rates

Two FreightWaves SONAR charts illustrate Union Pacific’s views of the West Coast intermodal spot market.

West Coast ports post strongest volumes ever; Norfolk Southern is moving to Atlanta; flatbed tender rejections stay down; expect electric trucks in 2020; pregnant XPO Logistics warehouse workers suffer miscarriages; E2open buys Inttra; Iraq produces more oil but can’t rebuild.

There will be a West Coast gold rush for trucking spot rates. SONAR data is suggesting that trucking spot rates will surge out of Los Angeles, reaching new highs.
