Memphis to Indianapolis dipped 16¢ to $2.01/mile. Last week the national average van rate dropped 4¢ to $1.97/mile. The last time the average van rate was below $2 per mile was 16 months ago, in September 2017. 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. We've seen the same trend play out for reefers and flatbeds. MORE

Rock Island, IL to Indianapolis fell 55¢ to $3.30/mile, which is still a solid rate. The load-to-truck ratio for flatbeds rebounded last week to 28.4 loads per truck, after losing traction for ten straight weeks. The national average flatbed rate dropped 1¢ to $2.66/mile, but it may trend up again before the month ends on Friday.

Memphis to Indianapolis jumped up 25¢ to $3.08/mile, unprecedented for this lane. Spot market demand has already exploded in June. 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. MORE
My favorite lane is the roundtrip between Lexington, KY, and Indianapolis, IN. I try my best to avoid markets where demand is low, but that gets difficult at this time of year.

Rates were also way up on the lanes from Memphis to Indianapolis and Memphis to Dallas. Brokers and shippers had a harder time finding trucks last week, so they paid a premium in most major markets and lanes. 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. MORE
Likewise, Memphis to Indianapolis rates moved up 17¢, to $2.32.

Van rates are holding steady at a national average of $1.79 per mile, even though fuel surcharges are declining. MORE
