Spot market pricing rebounded with a 10% bounce from mid-May through the end of June. The Los Angeles market led the charge, with the largest amount spent on truckload transportation, as recorded in DAT RateView. The Atlanta market also had a strong close, in the No. 3 position for outbound freight. It’s typical for van freight volumes to increase on the lanes heading east out of West Coast markets, and this year was no exception.
