Where’s the Freight? Fort Wayne, Tucson, Texarkana, Dodge City and Rapid City Most Profitable Markets for Fleets and Drivers in Coming Week
Share it:
Happy Friday and welcome to the Friday edition of “Where’s the Freight?,” Trucker Tools’ free market report for carriers and owner ops. In each and every edition of “Where’s the Freight?,” you’ll find out which markets are projected to see high demand and rates in the coming week and which are likely to see low demand and rates.
As we look at today’s data from Trucker Tools’ platforms, it’s clear that demand in many freight markets is expected to decline over the next five to seven days. However, several markets in the Midwest and South will see relatively high demand for capacity this week. Among them is the Fort Wayne, Ind., power only market, which snags the number spot in today’s Top Five Hottest Markets list. In the coming week, power only demand also is likely to increase in Philadelphia, Los Angeles and El Paso, Texas. If you’re a flatbed driver/carrier, you’ll want to prioritize loads to/from Texarkana, Texas, once again this week as demand will be relatively high — and the inbound flatbed market will favor drivers/carriers by two to one. Over the next week, demand for reefer capacity to/from Tucson, Ariz., and Dodge City, Kan., will remain relatively high, while Calgary, Alberta, will see extremely low demand for dry van capacity.
