AN OPERATING QUESTION / NOT A FORECAST

What does the reported growth actually measure?

U.S. Bank’s Q3 2026 Freight Payment Index reports spending up 32.1% year over year while shipments rose 0.5%. It measures domestic truckload and LTL payment activity in the index—not every U.S. shipment and not a universal 32.1% rate increase.
