Dry Van and Reefer Spot Rates Slip as Flatbed Spot Rates Climb

Dry van and refrigerated spot rates slipped week‑over‑week, with dry van down about 6 cents and reefer down roughly 17 cents, yet both remain 22‑33% above last year. Flatbed spot rates, by contrast, posted modest gains of just over 4 cents and are up about 9% year‑over‑year, accompanied by a 4.7% rise in volumes. The data, sourced from FTR and DAT, highlights diverging equipment trends amid typical seasonal softness for van and reefer segments. Overall, the market retains strong YoY pricing across all three modes.
