This week, flatbed freight continues to show strong demand in the central and southeastern regions, especially around Kentucky and Tennessee, while the West remains softer. Reefer loads are holding steady across much of the Midwest and Plains, with activity increasing from the Dakotas down into the Texas Panhandle, signaling seasonal upticks. For dry vans, the Midwest and South remain hotbeds of activity, with consistent freight volumes running through Michigan, Indiana, and surrounding areas, while demand stays quieter out West.
