Some of that could be due to shippers needing to move freight before the end of the month, so we’ll have to wait and see if van rates have actually turned the corner. Still, this is the second week in a row with rising volumes, so this could be a strong early start to the spring shipping season.

The national average spot market rate for reefers was down again last week at $2.40/mile, but that's still higher than the average reefer contract rate.
