Rate Forecast

▲ +3.5% (rates rising)

Late spring seasonal demand from retail distribution centers and post-holiday inventory restocking to Florida drives modest rate increases. Typical capacity tightening on southbound lanes supports upward pressure.

Carrier Capacity

🟡 Moderate

Seasonal uptick in freight volume to Florida reduces available capacity, but not critically tight as summer peak hasn't arrived.
