Where’s the Freight? Texarkana, Tucson, Portland and Cheyenne Hottest Freight Markets Over Next Five to Seven Days

Share it:

Happy Friday, y’all, and welcome to your TGIF edition of “Where’s the Freight?,” Trucker Tools’ free freight forecast for fleets and owner operators. As we head into the July 4th weekend, it should come as no surprise that several reefer markets are in our Top Five Hottest Markets list today, as folks around the nation gear up to celebrate our nation’s independence with barbeques and family gatherings. Over the next week, you can expect demand for flatbed capacity inbound to and outbound from Texarkana, Texas, to increase, while Minot, N.D., will remain a cold market for flatbed. If you run dry van, you’ll want to avoid loads into and out of Northern Ontario this week, as demand and rates are projected to be extremely low. For those of you who run power only loads, Portland, Ore., is expected to see relatively high demand in the coming week.

Scroll down to discover where else demand and rates will be high and low in the United States and Canada this week in this Friday edition of “Where’s the Freight?”
