Rate Forecast

▼ -3.5% (rates softening)

August typically experiences seasonal softening as summer peak demand subsides and carrier capacity normalizes. The Columbus-to-Salt Lake corridor should see modest pressure as intermodal and LTL alternatives gain traction heading into late summer.

Carrier Capacity

🟡 Moderate

Mid-August capacity is transitional; carriers have increased fleet utilization post-summer peak but spot market availability remains reasonable with slightly elevated outbound capacity from the Midwest toward Western distribution hubs.
