Truckload contract rates rise at fastest pace since 2021, Transportation Insight says

By Public Technologies
  • Truckload capacity remained tight in October 2026, with tender rejections above 10%; contract rate increases reached their fastest pace since 2021.
  • Peak-season truckload rates historically accelerate from November 16, leaving shippers a narrowing window to secure capacity at current prices.
  • A November 4 port labor deadline threatens operations at six Los Angeles and Long Beach terminals as volumes approach three-year highs.
  • UPS and FedEx are prioritizing profitability over volume through surcharges; new USPS and GLS charges broaden parcel shippers’ cost exposure.
  • A proposed NMFTA rule would price mixed-commodity pallets by overall dimensions and density, potentially raising costs for shippers benefiting from item-level classifications.
