Despite the occurrence of a hurricane, which would typically disrupt freight operations and potentially push up demand, rates are still lower compared to the same period last year, said FTR Transportation Intelligence VP of trucking Avery Vise said in a webinar last week.
“Even with the additional effect, we’re still likely not in a particularly strong environment,” Vise said. “And of course, those effects, likely would dissipate, at least until we get to the holiday impact right before Thanksgiving and Black Friday, and so on.”
