VIEW CART (FTR’s Trucking Conditions Index for November Eases from October High
FTR’s Trucking Conditions Index (TCI) fell in November from the previous month’s record high. The November reading of 10.26 is still strong as rising freight rates continue to power robust trucking conditions. FTR expects the index to settle into single-digit positive readings through 2021, reflecting a healthy but more stable truck freight market.
Details of the November TCI are found in the January 2021 issue of FTR’s Trucking Update, published December 23, 2020. Additional commentary discusses forecast risks and renewed uncertainty for 2021. Beyond the TCI and additional commentary, the Trucking Update includes data and analysis on load volumes, the capacity environment, and rates. FTR also publishes ongoing publicly available analysis on the impact of COVID-19 on freight transportation at FTR’s COVID-19 intelligence.
