It’s Friday, which means it’s time for a brand new edition of “Where’s the Freight?,” Trucker Tools’ free freight market report for owner operators and carriers. In every edition of “Where’s the Freight?,” you’ll discover where demand and rates for specific types of truckload capacity will be high and low over the next five to seven days.
Two markets
that you should prioritize this week are Texarkana, Texas, and Tucson, Ariz. The Texarkana, Texas, flatbed market is projected to see extremely high demand
this week, which is why it scores number one in today’s Top Five Hottest
Markets list. Demand for reefer capacity inbound to and outbound from Tucson,
Ariz., is expected to more than double this week. For those of your running
power only loads, you can expect to see a slight uptick in demand for power
only capacity this week to/from Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
