Spot Market Insights - June 30, 2025
Van spot rates rise as expected in the latest week
Broker-posted spot rates in the Truckstop system saw their strongest overall increase in 10 weeks during the week ended June 27 (week 25) as rates rose for all equipment types. The increase for dry van spot rates was the largest in five weeks while the refrigerated spot rate gain was the largest in six weeks. Flatbed rates also ticked up slightly in a week that – in recent years, at least – usually sees lower rates. Solid gains in van equipment spot rates are almost a given during late June.
