Late spring demand typically strengthens as retail inventory builds ahead of summer season, while carrier capacity remains moderately constrained post-winter. Detroit-Atlanta is a consistent high-volume lane with seasonal upward pressure in May.
Carrier Capacity
🟡 Moderate
This major Midwest-Southeast corridor attracts steady carrier coverage, but May demand increases and recent fuel costs create moderate tightness in available equipment.
