This week, demand for flatbed trucks continues to hold steady in the Southeast and Central U.S., with consistent activity stretching from Texas through Tennessee and into parts of the Midwest. Meanwhile, reefer trucks are seeing widespread momentum across the Southern corridor and the West Coast, with solid activity pushing into the Midwest. Dry vans are performing strongest across the Southeast and Midwest, with notable consistency also appearing in the Central Plains. Across all three equipment types, the West and Northeast remain relatively stable with less week-over-week change, pointing to more localized demand patterns.
