Share it:
Happy Friday, truckers and carriers! Looking ahead to the coming week, you can expect reefer demand to be strong in several markets, including Tucson, Ariz., Decatur, Ala., and Texarkana, Texas. As the weather turns cooler in many states and provinces, flatbed demand continues to soften, with the Brooklyn, N.Y., flatbed market projected to be the least profitable market in the United States and Canada over the next five to seven day period. If you run dry van, you’ll want to prioritize loads inbound to and outbound from Macon, Ga., in the coming week, as demand for van capacity is likely to be high. On the power only side, New Castle, Del., will remain a strong market this week, while Stockton, Calif., will see extremely low demand/rates for power only loads.
