Rate Forecast
▲ +4.2% (rates rising)
July typically sees increased freight demand from retail restocking and summer manufacturing activity, while driver availability tightens during peak season. Mid-week capacity constraints on the LA-Detroit corridor suggest modest upward pressure on rates.
Carrier Capacity
🟡 Moderate
Cross-country lanes attract steady carrier interest, but peak summer demand and equipment positioning needs from West Coast ports create moderate tightness on eastbound runs.
🇨🇦 US-Canada Tariff Alert
