A monthly roundup of the US truckload market: rates and capacity, diesel, regulation and equipment. Every figure is dated, sourced to its publisher and checked before it is published, and every edition ends with what it means for shippers.

How the report is made

Government figures (diesel from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, truckload producer prices from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Freight Transportation Services Index from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics) are collected directly. Everything else is a publisher's own public figure, cited by name, period and release date. Research is gathered with AI tools that follow written sourcing rules; each of those figures is checked against the page it cites before it can be used, and each edition is approved before it is published.
