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.

A Brinks armored truck traveling down Interstate 70 outside Indianapolis this week had its rear doors open sending more than $600,000 in twenty-dollar bills exploding across all 8 lanes of rush hour traffic.

Demand was hot for freight moving into the Midwest, with inbound volumes for Chicago and Indianapolis near record levels. Memphis to Indianapolis jumped up 25¢ to $3.08/mile, unprecedented for this lane. Spot market demand has already exploded in June.

MORE
Likewise, Memphis to Indianapolis rates moved up 17¢, to $2.32. Freight volume continues to be strong for vans, especially in the South, where some rough weather disrupted freight movements last week, and produce harvests occupied the reefers that might have hauled dry van freight in the off-season.
