Allentown, PA , was still a busy hub, and the lane to Cleveland rose 22¢ to $2.03/mile.

We don’t anticipate a lot of impact as far as long haul freight goes, since pickup and delivery can be adjusted to avoid the extra traffic on the 285 loop. The highway closure could affect freight going to and from the Carolinas and other points to the northeast, though. Eggs are usually cheap freight, though.

For one, lackluster contract freight volumes has led to more contract carriers putting trucks on the spot market, and the extra capacity has kept rates from rising in many places. The other 13 lanes were neutral.
