In this week’s Trucking Market Update, we discuss what drove a strong fourth quarter for the freight economy and what it means for the months ahead. Plus, we recap some big moves in the spot market and diesel prices and review key economic indicators related to inventories, consumer spending, manufacturing, housing, and trade. We also highlight FTR’s active truck utilization metric, which is a key element in our forecasting of freight rates.

The Trucking Market Update is hosted by FTR’s Vice President of Trucking, Avery Vise. As this information is presented, you are welcome to follow along and look at the graphs and indicators yourself by downloading the presentation.
