What could this mean for my freight costs, contracts or next decision?
Cross-border shippers using truck lanes out of the Texas border should check current capacity and written quotes before resetting budgets or accepting a blanket increase. Transport Topics reports a 24% spot-rate rise on those lanes, with the comparison period unspecified, while southern-border volume is about 6.5% higher year over year. DAT iQ’s Dean Croke attributes the pressure mainly to capacity leaving the market. Your lane, service and contract determine the actual exposure.
