Denver to Albuquerque, NM increased to $2.07/mi. Just as rates were about to turn around, they took another hit last week. Extreme weather closed highways and forced cancellations and delays. A huge snowstorm in Denver last week closed three interstate highways: I-25, I-70 and I-76. In Nebraska, snow followed by rain led to “historic flooding” that shut down traffic on I-80.

Below are five markets where you can find a reefer load fast and make a nice profit. Each is in the top 20 for load posts and has load-to-truck ratios well above the national average of 3.9 loads available per truck.

Albuquerque also has high load availability for vans, coupled with a shortage of trucks, as shown in this Hot States Map for the week of September 27 to October 3. Van demand rose 11% last week, in the end-of-quarter rush , and truck capacity tightened by 2.9%. That yielded a 14% increase in the national average load-to-truck ratio, from 1.7 loads per truck on DAT Load Boards.

Albuquerque continues to offer high load availability for reefers, coupled with a shortage of trucks. Demand for reefers slipped 13% on the spot market last week, following an end-of-quarter surge in the previous week, and truck capacity added 2%. That combination led to a 15% decline in the national average load-to-truck ratio, from 4.6 loads per truck on DAT Load Boards. The demand turned New Mexico into a Hot State, as shown in this map for the week of October 4 - 10.

The biggest declines was out West, though: Denver to Albuquerque, NM , fell 35¢ to $2.18/mile. Van rates continued to moderate last week, and van load posts declined as we moved into February. Prices are still above the peak for 2017, but the extreme highs in the van segment are declining as we transition into what is usually the slowest month on the spot market.

Denver to Albuquerque, NM has been trending up in recent weeks, and the average rate rose another 17¢ at $2.33/mile. Before this week, the spot market had been a bit calmer in December compared to November. Dry van volumes were pretty similar last week to the week before, and rates settled down from the peaks we saw around Thanksgiving. We'd normally expect rates to decline steadily from now until early March. In recent years, e-commerce has kept rates high through early January.

Denver to Albuquerque, NM , was down 33¢ to $2.04/mile. Van spot market rates moderated last week, especially on the backhaul lanes where rates spiked two weeks ago. The looser truckload capacity led to lower national averages for van and reefer rates, interrupting what had been seven straight weeks of increases. But capacity is only "loose" when compared to recent weeks. As you can see in the Hot States Map below, trucks are still in high demand across many parts of the country.

Denver to Albuquerque recovered 12¢ to $2.00/mile, after a sharp drop in the previous week. We're still deep in the slow season, but spot market trends are actually running about a month ahead of schedule. There's been seasonal weakness, but we're already seeing volumes firming up, which is something we don't usually expect until mid-March. In other words, rates are gearing up for a rebound.

When disaster strikes, trucks are needed to get emergency supplies where they're needed most. But as has been the case with Hurricane Florence – which is anticipated to make landfall on the mid-Atlantic coast later this week – we're seeing how trucks are a big part of the preparation process before the storm, too. Big weather events like this usually affect the spot freight market in three stages.

Denver to Albuquerque got a 7¢ increase, to $2.18/mile. West Coast van freight heated up last week, especially in the Los Angeles market. Blame the weather. Even from a great distance, three September storms had an impact on California cargo in mid-October. In mid-September, we were focused on evacuating the Carolinas and diverting trucks and freight away from Hurricane Florence. Cargo ships were re-routed or delayed en route to and from ports from Savannah to Baltimore.

Denver to Albuquerque was down 30¢ to $2.04/mile. A lot of us in the trucking industry had to do something last week that we haven't had to do in a while — work a full, five-day week. Of course, for a lot of trucking companies, the work week can easily last six or seven days, but either way, one thing that the activity on the DAT Load Board told us last week was that pretty much everyone was back to working full time.

Denver to Albuquerque jumped 28¢ to $2.35/mile. Truckload capacity remained tight during the first week of 2019, and national average rates increased 3¢ for vans, reefers and flatbeds. However, rates declined on many of the highest volume lanes, so increases in the national averages could be temporary. Lower diesel prices and declining fuel surcharges may also counteract future rate increases.

For the markets with the highest ratio of contract freight to spot market freight you will find Albuquerque, NM, Flagstaff, AZ, and San Diego, CA. Current trends in freight can be explained by looking at the top ten contract markets by percentage of contract-spot mix. For the last six weeks, rates have been sliding on the spot market despite strong volumes for the January-February period. The culprit may well be weakness in contract markets in the Southwest region of the United States.

Other Hot Markets include Albuquerque, Grand Rapids and Little Rock. Thanks in part to seasonal food items, rates are finally trending back up for vans and reefers. Late harvests are beginning the journey to your Thanksgiving table, via food processing plants and distribution centers. One result: this week's "hot" markets for van and reefer loads include agricultural areas, specifically the origin points for potatoes, onions, fresh vegetables and poultry products.

Denver to Albuquerque, NM, rates dropped 43¢ to $2.49/mile. Spot market demand tends to slow down in the middle of January, so it wasn’t surprising that load posts on DAT load boards edged down 4% last week. It was actually the first decline since mid-November that wasn’t related to a shorter work week because of a holiday. Meanwhile, truck posts were up another 5%, following the big surge in posts we saw in the week before.

Denver to Albuquerque added 25¢ at $2.92/mile. Load posts on the DAT Network have risen steadily since the second week in November, and they were up another 17% last week. What is different, though, is that truck posts surged 52% last week, which was the first full work week after the holidays. Many truckers took extended vacations, beginning December 18 when the ELD mandate went into effect. That's not a coincidence.

One of the few headhaul lanes out of Denver is to Albuquerque, NM , and it gained10¢ to $2.16/mile. Demand on the spot market had been surging as we headed into December, after record-high rates and load-to-truck ratios throughout November. Last week was a little quieter. The number of loads posted on DAT load boards came down from the previous week’s peak, falling 10% in what could be a lull between holidays.

Denver to Albuquerque has been more up-and-down than usual, and last week it fell 10¢ for an average of $1.64/mile. Early May brought higher spot market rates for each trailer type. For vans and reefers , the national averages were the highest they've been since January at $1.70/mile and $1.97/mile respectively. For flatbed , the national average was the highest it's been in nearly two years at $2.09/mile.

Denver to Albuquerque rose 10¢ for an average of 1.76/mile. The end of the month didn’t bring the upward bump that we typically see when shippers try to move goods before closing their books. Severe weather might have played a part, with storms and flooding across East Texas and many southern states. We’re hearing a lot about shipping gaps in California due to delays in planting because of an unusually wet winter, which explains the flat reefer volumes last week.

One more 9¢ drop: Denver to Albuquerque fell to $1.66/mile. For van rates , rising lanes continue to outnumber falling lanes on a week-to-week basis, but it’s been a slow, long-term trend. Trucks are still relatively easy to find in some parts of the country, which has put a speed limiter on rising rates. Load-to-truck ratios are highest for vans in the darker red areas on the Hot States Map above. Top 5 for van load posts on DAT load boards last week. Atlanta 2. Charlotte 3.

Albuquerque, NM. Van rates jumped 6¢ last week, prompted by a 49% increase in load posts on DAT load boards. There was an 11% increase in truck posts, week over week, so the load-to-truck ratio advanced 32%, from 2.1 loads per truck. Because last week was a full work week, and the week before included Thanksgiving, the additional work day would be expected to generate a 20% to 25% increase in all load board activity.
