All-in spot rates, January 2023-May 2025

In the Truckstop load board system, spot rates for refrigerated and flatbed equipment declined slightly last week. Load postings fell sharply as expected during the week following Roadcheck. The total market broker-posted spot rate increased 1.4 cents, Truckstop and FTR reported, which is the average increase over the past three years during the week. Total rates were more than 2% higher than they were during the week following last year’s Roadcheck. Rates excluding a calculated fuel surcharge were more than 6% higher.
