In the coming week, you can expect demand for power only capacity to be extremely high in several markets, including San Diego and Mobile, Ala.

Over the next five to seven days, demand and rates for dry van capacity inbound to and outbound from Ithaca, N.Y., are projected to increase, while Minot, N.D., will see very low demand for dry van capacity.
