▲ +3.5% (rates rising)

Mid-May typically sees modest seasonal lift as summer peak approaches and Memorial Day weekend reduces available capacity. Post-holiday freight recovery and increased e-commerce volumes support upward pressure on this major cross-country corridor.

Carrier Capacity

🟡 Moderate

Seattle-Atlanta is a well-established lane with consistent carrier participation; moderate tightness expected from holiday-related equipment positioning but not acute shortage conditions.
