What reefer freight is really doing this week.

Every week we show which shipping regions are running hot or cooling off for produce, protein, dairy, and frozen, and what that means for your loads.

This week’s reports

Pick your freight.

The short version: Hurricane Isaias heads for I-10 while the Northwest gets tighter. The National Hurricane Center expects landfall on the northern Gulf Coast late Friday or early Saturday, so loads crossing Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle this weekend need a day of slack. Yakima and Wenatchee are still short on trucks on every lane, and Northwest reefer rejections climbed again (Source: SONAR). California into New York firmed from every district; Chicago split. National diesel is $6.199 a gallon, down 18.3 cents.

We only print numbers we can back up. When there isn’t a good number for a lane, we say so instead of guessing. Questions about a lane? Call or email Alex Stanton at alex@cyanlogistics.net · (909) 972-1006.
