Freight Market Upturn: Tightening Capacity & Rising Rates
Update: 2025-12-19
Description
The latest State of Freight webinar revealed a promising turn in the freight market, with new data from SONAR indicating a stronger market on the horizon. The National Truckload Index climbed from under $1.75 to just under $2 per mile, an unusual and unexpected rise. Meanwhile, the Outbound Tender Rejection Index soared, signaling a tightening market due to winter weather and a long-term tightening of capacity as smaller carriers exit the market. Demand has been volatile, but a late surge post-Thanksgiving suggests shippers underestimated their needs, leading to increased demand meeting a market with less trucking capacity. Experts predict trucking capacity will continue to tighten into 2026, contributing to rising rejection and spot rates.
