According to Kevin Hill of Brush Pass Research, April looks like “a floor” for the freight market. Load volumes and miles were UP across dry van, flatbed, and reefer, while total line-haul spend was DOWN. The chart below compares April 2023 and April 2024. Everyone knows that the market has suffered in recent months. Due to the downturn, there are now 10.8% fewer freight brokerages than there were this time last year. If April sets a floor, there could be brighter days ahead. Farelanes LLC is the source of April’s data, which you can access and connect directly to your existing platform or systems.
