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. MORE
These "hot markets" may pay above-average rates for reefers: Albuquerque, NM; Lubbock, TX; Fayetteville, AR; Memphis and Nashville, TN; Cape Girardeau, MO; and Evansville, IN. July is the in-between season for refrigerated ("reefer") freight. The go-to markets in California and Texas are quiet, and hauls into Florida are mostly dead-end runs. MORE
In addition, I-25 serves Albuquerque, which is New Mexico’s largest city, as well as Pueblo and Colorado Springs in central Colorado. As I-25 nears Albuquerque, it runs concurrently with US 60. As I-25 runs through Albuquerque it is named the Pan American Freeway.? MORE
The lane from Denver to Albuquerque is still one of your best bets for getting out of Colorado, but that lane lost 15¢ last week at $1.88/mile. Has money been a little tighter for your business lately? If you're a small carrier or owner-operator, you're not alone. Freight rates have been in decline since the calendar flipped to 2019. Prices are typically down during this part of winter, but there are signs that rates could thaw soon. MORE
All westbound lanes of I-40 near Albuquerque, NM are closed. UPDATE: 02.15.21. According to weather.com, “more than 2 million Texas homes and businesses were without power Monday morning as record-breaking cold and Winter Storm Uri extended an icy grip across the central United States.” MORE
The National Nuclear Security Administration is seeking drivers based in Amarillo, Texas, and Albuquerque, New Mexico, to transport nuclear weapons and other materials across the country. The Daily Dash is a quick look at what’s happening in the freight ecosystem. MORE
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. MORE
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. MORE

For now, drivers will have to take Interstate 80 westbound through Wyoming to Interstate 15 southbound in Salt Lake City, or Interstate 25 southbound from Denver to Interstate 40 westbound in Albuquerque, New Mexico. MORE
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. MORE
Albuquerque, NM, has been lighting up the Hot Market Map for a few weeks now. So if you take a load to Albuquerque from L.A. The national reefer rate average lost 5¢ last week, but there are still pockets in the country where reefer demand remains high. 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. MORE
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. MORE
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. MORE
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. MORE
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. MORE
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. MORE
This includes Phoenix, Tucson, Kingman, Bullhead City and Lake Havasu City, Arizona; Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Gallup, New Mexico; in addition to Telluride and the San Juan Mountains in southern Colorado. MORE
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. MORE
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. MORE
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. MORE

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, 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. MORE

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. MORE

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. MORE
