Rate Forecast

▲ +3.5% (rates rising)

Mid-July typically sees increased demand for refrigerated and general freight moving south to Mexico ahead of late-summer peak season, while carrier capacity remains constrained by seasonal driver shortages. Chicago-Laredo lanes experience upward pressure during this window as shippers frontload inventory.

Carrier Capacity

🟡 Moderate

Standard seasonal tightness for the Chicago-Laredo corridor; adequate but not abundant carrier availability as fleets balance northbound and southbound loads.
