For van freight, we’re starting to see hot markets shift westward, with big rate increases out of Seattle, Los Angeles, Denver and Stockton, CA. Outbound van rates have soared more than 40% in Seattle in the past month. Seattle is normally a backhaul market, meaning that outbound rates are usually quite a bit lower than the inbound rates. Rerouted port traffic from Houston to Seattle after Hurricane Harvey may have added to demand for trucks in the area.

One exception was out West: Rates on the lane from Seattle to Salt Lake City gained 36¢ at $2.25/mile. For carriers, van loads coming out of Seattle often pay backhaul rates, but rates have been on the rise on a few lanes in recent weeks. One lane that still doesn’t pay well, though, is the one from Seattle to Stockton, CA. Vans got paid an average of $2.45/mile last week from Stockton to Seattle.

Rates are rising from Seattle to California, but otherwise the picture is weak for pricing. Traditional backhaul markets like Denver and Seattle held up, and Los Angeles continued to see price increases over the past month. Spot market line haul rates are now only 5% higher for vans now than they were a year ago, rising from $1.74 to $1.83 per mile not including the fuel surcharge. And the number of van loads that have moved in early October is nearly identical to 2017.
