Every journey moves us forward. 🇺🇸

Columbus Day is an opportunity to reflect on the journeys that have shaped history and the connections that continue to shape our world.

In transportation, we see the importance of those connections every day.

Across thousands of miles, through cities and communities, our drivers help keep businesses connected and essential goods moving.

At Zenith Logistics, we’re proud of the people who make that possible and the dedication they bring to every mile.

Here’s to the roads ahead, the people behind the wheel, and the journeys that keep us moving.

Driven by Trust. Built by People.

The freight market is shifting — but not in the way you might expect.

In June, spot dry van linehaul rates were running $0.08 per mile above contract rates.

By August, that relationship had completely reversed.
Contract rates reached $2.39 per mile, while spot fell to $2.17 — creating a $0.22 per mile gap in favor of contract freight.

But the bigger story isn’t just rates.
Capacity remains fragile. Tender rejections are holding near 14%, while freight demand remains relatively steady.
The pressure we’re seeing is increasingly coming from the supply side of the market — fewer available trucks competing for existing freight.

For shippers, that makes reliable capacity more valuable.
For drivers, consistent freight matters more.

And for carriers, disciplined operations and strong customer relationships become increasingly important.
Markets change. Rates move.

The goal isn’t to chase every shift. It’s to build an operation that can perform through all of them.

That’s what we’re building at Zenith.

For most people, Friday means the week is over.

In trucking, it usually means somebody is still a few hundred miles from the next stop.

Freight doesn’t clock out at 5.
Customers don’t stop needing deliveries because it’s Friday.
And the drivers out there tonight still have miles to make.
That’s the part of this industry people don’t always see.

Behind every load that arrives Monday morning, there was a driver moving it while everyone else was enjoying the weekend. Behind every truck on the highway, there’s a dispatch team, safety team and operation making sure the wheels keep turning.

So as another week comes to an end, respect to everyone still out there getting the job done.

To our Zenith drivers on the road tonight — drive safe. We’ve got your back.

Monday will start another week.
We never really stopped.

Q4 freight planning starts at the lane level.

The latest FTR/Truckstop report, published September 28, shows how differently freight segments are moving.

For the week ending September 25:
▪ Dry van spot rates increased 4.5¢ per mile.
▪ Refrigerated rates declined 7.3¢ per mile.
▪ Flatbed rates increased by less than 1¢ per mile.
▪ Total load postings were essentially unchanged week over week.

A national average can provide context. Planning a shipment requires a closer look at the equipment, origin, destination, and timing.

Our perspective heading into Q4:

For shippers, confirm capacity on critical lanes early and communicate appointment requirements before booking.

For carriers, evaluate the full trip—including empty miles, dwell time, and reload opportunities.

For both, keep contingency plans current. Conditions in one equipment segment or region may look very different from the broader market.

At Zenith Logistics, we believe market insight should lead to better operational decisions.

Which factor is shaping your Q4 planning most: capacity availability, pricing, or delivery requirements?

More activity. More to watch.

This week’s freight reports brought three developments into focus:
▪ DAT load postings rose 16% week over week, while dry van linehaul rates slipped 3¢ per mile.
▪ U.S. intermodal volume increased 6.9% year over year.
▪ A new survey highlighted fraudulent pickups and carrier impersonation as major concerns among loss-prevention leaders.

For transportation teams, the takeaway is practical: evaluate the full trip cost, plan every handoff, and verify who is picking up the freight.

At Zenith, our focus remains on the details behind every move—and the people responsible for getting them right.
