Rate Forecast
▼ -3.5% (rates softening)
Summer peak season (July) typically sees moderate demand, but the Laredo-Houston corridor experiences consistent baseline freight due to port activity and cross-border trade, creating steady rather than surge pricing. Post-peak seasonality and typical mid-summer capacity availability suggest slight rate softening from early July levels.
