This Week in Freight

April 25, 2024

Looking at the national average linehaul rate paid by shippers to asset providers for flatbed equipment, we see a good news - bad news story. The good news is that rates for flatbeds are essentially “flat.” The bad news is that the rates are essentially “flat.” Linehaul rates maintain a tight range around $2.79 per mile. The rates could be in decline, but they are not, so that’s the good news. The bad news is that rates remain unchanged and well below the $3.21 rate record set in 2022 and the $2.90 mark set in 2023. While rates have found a bottom, we see nothing to suggest that they are about to change in a favorable way.
