Freight trends across the country show that flatbed demand is holding firm in the Midwest and parts of the South, but remains softer across the West. For reefers, momentum continues to build steadily across the Midwest and Plains, with stronger load opportunities compared to the coasts. Dry vans are seeing the most consistent strength stretching from the Midwest down through the South, while the West and far Northeast remain cooler. Overall, the latest shifts suggest that freight markets are stabilizing with some signs of seasonal pressure starting to lift, offering more opportunities for drivers depending on equipment type and region.
