DAT: Spot rates hit new highs heading into holiday

Sep 09, 2020

Aug 31 - Sept 6 - The average linehaul rate for dry van freight set an all-time record high in August (all-in spot rates were higher in June 2018 due to higher fuel surcharges). That momentum continued last week, with shippers and freight brokers paying higher prices to move freight ahead of the Labor Day weekend. NEW!
