Over the next five to seven days, you can expect power only demand to increase in four different markets across several Eastern U.S. states. Flatbed demand will be on the rise in one Arizona market in the coming week, while cities in Texas and Ontario are projected to see the highest demand for flatbed capacity in North America.
