In his September 9, 2011 editorial, John D. Schulz of "Logistics Management" stated that, "Trucking rates are rising and will continue to outstrip the pace of inflation as carrier capacity has tightened, experts and industry officials are predicting.
"One key indicator of tight capacity is the spot market. TransCore, which has analyzed spot vs. contract rates, has analyzed billions of dollars of rate agreements between brokers and carriers, has discovered a shift in freight buying habits that are a harbinger of the rate environment most shippers are facing.
"Usually, the spot market rates are about 15 percent lower than contract rates. But this year, according to TransCore's analysis, on a national average about 24 percent of lanes had spot market rates that were higher than contract rates during the second quarter."
