📊 Bi-Weekly Freight Market Update: Rates Hold Firm Despite Softer Volumes Insights from Alex Fuller, Sr. Director, Revenue Management & Solutions Freight market signals this week point to a familiar reality: pricing remains elevated even as short-term demand softens. Over the past two weeks, spot rates have held near recent highs at ~$3.09 per mile, while tender rejections remain elevated, indicating that capacity is still tight compared to last year. At the same time, shipping volumes dipped slightly week-over-week but remain stronger than 2025 levels, reinforcing that demand has not truly weakened. Another key pressure point: diesel prices climbed again to $5.64 per gallon, adding further cost pressure across transportation networks. What does this mean for shippers? • A softer week does not necessarily translate into lower rates • Underlying freight pricing, not just fuel, continues to support elevated costs • Capacity planning and routing discipline remain critical in a tight market Understanding these shifts is essential for navigating freight strategy and budgeting transportation spend effectively. 🔎 Explore the full market insights and analysis on our website. https://hubs.li/Q04bq8qY0 #FreightMarket #SupplyChainInsights #LogisticsStrategy 🚛📦
