Even Tampa has crossed that mark. While the van markets might be showing signs of heating up, flatbed has been hot all winter long, and getting hotter.

Last week, flatbed volumes surged 10% higher, led by Houston, Fort Worth and Cleveland. The national load-to-truck ratio for flatbed has now been above 100 loads per truck for 5 straight weeks. MORE

That pushed rates lower out of Tampa. The energy sector heated up in January, which contributed to higher flatbed load counts for the month. Bad weather in some parts of the country also disrupted construction, though, which led to some pretty uneven changes in flatbed lane rates in January. Houston is the number 1 market for flatbed loads, and volumes have improved there, even though rates haven’t followed suit yet. MORE
NOT SO HOT – Freight volume was up, but rates were down, in three East Coast freight markets: Harrisburg , Tampa , and Roanoke. July ended and August began, so you might have expected a quiet week.

The biggest improvement in June volume and rates came in Tampa , followed by Savannah , which may be related to an increase in port traffic. Van freight was a little quiet last week, but a rebound should be underway now, to close the second quarter on a high note. Reefer freight volume should get a boost too, due to last-minute demand for fresh food, ahead of the July 4th weekend. Flatbed traffic has been subdued all year, especially compared to the fracking boom times. MORE

Tampa also enjoyed strong numbers in December, and the lane to Atlanta was up to $2.03/mile. Flatbed carriers didn't hear a lot of good news in the second half of 2018. After the spikes we saw early in the year, prices started a slow and steady decline that lasted for months. That changed in December, as prices reversed course at a time when business is usually slow for flatbed carriers. And the price increase took hold even as lower diesel prices chip away at fuel surcharges. MORE
Atlanta to Tampa was also up to $3.12/mile. Lakeland, FL, also serves the Tampa market, and the lane from Atlanta to Lakeland added 52¢ at $3.89/mile. Relief efforts are underway in Florida, and our hearts go out to those recovering from Hurricane Irma. We’ve seen a big increase in van freight moving from Atlanta and Charlotte down into the state. Some of that is also the result of pent-up demand from shipments that were delayed by the storm. MORE

Flatbed rates have been down in port cities that were affected by Irma: Tampa, Jacksonville and Savannah. Tampa to Atlanta remains the weakest of the high-volume flatbed lanes, since inbound load counts from Atlanta are still well above normal. That leaves a lot of trucks in Tampa, looking for a load out, so the outbound rate has stayed low, at an average of $1.21/mile. The immediate impacts from Harvey and Irma first showed up in van freight, then reefers. MORE
The average rate out of Tampa hit $2.09/mile, which is high for Florida. February has been a strong month for flatbed freight. That's not something you hear all that often, but the national average flatbed rate has increased each week this month, while rates trended in the opposite direction for vans and reefers. Overall, flatbed volumes are 20% higher than they were a year ago, while rates are 22% higher compared to the same period in 2017. MORE

Plenty of flatbed markets in the South and East experienced rising prices, including Birmingham, Tampa, Atlanta, Savannah, Raleigh, Harrisburg, Dallas and Phoenix.

In other key flatbed markets, rates declined, including: Houston, Atlanta, Tampa and Harrisburg. Flatbed load availability declined 24% last week on the spot market, as load board activity paused for Thanksgiving. The load-to-truck ratio rose 11%, to 6.4 loads per truck, however. It's the beginning of the off-season for flatbeds, so every little surge helps. Hot Markets for the week included Medford, OR; Rapid City, SD; Omaha, NE; Little Rock, AR; Shreveport, LA; and Montgomery, AL. MORE

Rates were also weaker out of Atlanta and Tampa. Tampa to Atlanta is one of the weakest flatbed lanes, and the rate was down another 7¢ to just $1.39/mile. Flatbed rates saw a spike in the week before Christmas, but otherwise they’ve stayed pretty close to where they were before Thanksgiving. Not that flatbed rates have been low – they just haven’t continued to climb like van and reefer rates have over the past month. MORE
