Confessions of a two-timing writer
Most price changes on the top 100 van lanes were minor, but demand on regional lanes boosted load-to-truck ratios in the Northeast. Rates on the lane from Buffalo to Allentown, Pa.¸ were up 13 cents to an average of $2.59 per mile. The Midwest has also been improving, with outbound prices up in both Columbus and Chicago. The lane from Columbus to Memphis was up 22 cents, a good sign for retail traffic. Almost every major outbound lane from Memphis paid better last week. On the flip side, prices keep falling in Atlanta and Dallas. Those markets are numbers 1 and 2 for load posts on DAT Load Boards, but they’re also numbers 2 and 3 for truck posts. That extra competition for loads has kept rates from going up.
