Capacity was tighter because of the annual Roadcheck inspection blitz, and with the added pressure caused by this year's steadily increasing spot market demand, national average rates hit levels we haven’t seen in the past two years. Rates were also way up on the lanes from Memphis to Indianapolis and Memphis to Dallas.

There’s the normal seasonal slowdown that occurs around this time each year, but falling fuel surcharges and increased capacity in the spot market are adding to downward pressure on rates. And rates out of Denver are holding up, for the second week in a row. Denver to Oklahoma City rates rose 13¢ to $1.34/mile.

Last week was the annual inspection blitz, Roadcheck, which typically leads to tighter capacity and higher rates because a lot of truckers take that week off. This year, capacity was already tight from Memorial Day week, so the Roadcheck effect was even more pronounced. Memphis to Indianapolis jumped up 25¢ to $3.08/mile,

That extra capacity has taken some of the pressure off of pricing. Pipelines are filled to capacity the West Texas oilfields, leading to a slowdown in drilling. Dallas to Denver lost 25¢ at $2.59/mile. Memphis rates also fell sharply, with the lane to Indianapolis down 21¢ to $2.59/mile.

Memphis to Indianapolis isn't a lane we talk a lot about and it's rarely among the top gainers, but the average rate jumped up 12¢ last week to $1.89/mile. Denver to Houston also fell11¢ to just $1.00/mile. With the recent weakness in the long haul van market, all this should add stability by absorbing capacity.

That would’ve led to more reefer trucks competing for van freight, and the extra capacity kept rates down. Memphis to Indianapolis was more typical of retail lanes last week, falling 20¢ to $1.90/mile. Sacramento to Denver was up 26¢ to $2.55/mile. Weaker reefer load counts are likely to blame.

Dallas to Denver fell 10¢ to $2.03/mi. But this year there's more capacity, both from additional trucks on the road and more efficient use of current equipment. Rock Island to Indianapolis dropped 53¢ $2.91/mi. Lanes that showed declines last week included: Chicago to Allentown dropped 12¢ to $2.57/mi.
