Rate Forecast
▼ -3.5% (rates softening)
August typically sees seasonal softening in long-haul corridors as freight volumes decline post-summer peak and carrier capacity normalizes. Detroit-El Paso is a challenging backhaul with limited return freight, pressuring westbound rates.
Carrier Capacity
🟡 Moderate
Mid-summer capacity is adequate but westbound Detroit-El Paso attracts selective carriers due to weak return loads, creating moderate tightness for shippers seeking premium service.
