Rate Forecast

▲ +3.5% (rates rising)

August typically sees increased freight demand as back-to-school and pre-Labor Day inventory builds drive higher volumes. Houston-Baltimore is a major intermodal corridor with consistent demand, but summer capacity constraints are easing into late August.

Carrier Capacity

🟡 Moderate

Regional carriers maintain steady availability on this high-volume corridor; seasonal tightness from peak summer is beginning to normalize with typical August freight patterns.
