Mid-summer typically sees softer demand as shippers plan around peak season; however, Houston's petrochemical and import activity provides baseline support. Expect slight softness as carriers position equipment ahead of Q3 peak.

Carrier Capacity

🟡 Moderate

I-5 and I-80 corridors maintain steady carrier availability in July with moderate competition on westbound backhauls from Houston.
