Van spot rates mixed, flatbed down in the latest week
The total broker-posted rate in the Truckstop system declined by the most in 11 weeks during the week ended April 26 (week 17) as flatbed spot rates dropped and dry van and refrigerated rates moved in oppositive directions. Dry van spot rates fell to their lowest level in nearly a year while refrigerated spot rates posted their sharpest gain since mid-January. Both moves were in keeping with seasonal expectations. Flatbed spot rates fell by the most in a week since early February.
