📊 On the latest spot rate update, FTR reported that the total load activity decreased by 3% after a 0.6% drop the previous week. Volume was down over 1% from the same week in 2023 and nearly 28% below the five-year average. Truck postings increased by 6.3%, while the Market Demand Index hit its lowest point in seven weeks. 💰 The broker-posted rate increased by 0.4 cents, following a 1-cent rise the previous week. Rates were nearly 3% lower compared to the same week in 2023 and the five-year average. Spot rates are expected to rise in the coming weeks due to the International Roadcheck inspection event by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance on May 14-16. Last year, Roadcheck led to a significant increase in spot rates, impacting van rates for the rest of 2023.    (Data Creds: FTR | Transportation Intelligence, Truckstop)    #Transportation #Logistics #SpotRates #DataAnalysis #FreightMarket
