Every month, you’ll receive exclusive FTR forecasts built on Freight•cast™, including the Intermodal Competitive Index, Loads Outlook, and Price Pressure Index.

These forecasts help procurement and logistics teams anticipate demand shifts, understand where intermodal is gaining or losing share, and plan pricing strategies that stay ahead of the curve.

Drill into regional and national port activity, transloading trends, and corridor-level traffic forecasts to see where freight is flowing and why.

Whether you’re adjusting lane pricing, monitoring import volume, or balancing mode competitiveness, these insights keep your team aligned with the real movement of goods across North America.

Track velocity, dwell time, and cars online across major carriers, as well as equipment utilization by trailer and container type.

This data reveals where congestion, bottlenecks, or capacity issues could affect delivery schedules, helping you manage assets and expectations more effectively.

Understand the macroeconomic forces shaping intermodal activity with FTR’s economic environment forecasts covering GDP, manufacturing output, consumer spending, and fuel prices.

Combined with FTR’s Price Pressure Index, this gives you a clear view of where costs are headed—and when to renegotiate or reallocate capacity.
