We had a turnaround in van trends last week, reversing course from the declines we’ve been seeing since mid-January. Volumes and rates rose nearly across the board. 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 declines in reefer rates were steeper than the similar declines in van rates, but reefer prices were also extremely elevated heading into the month. 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.
