Heads up, shippers: freight volumes are falling, but rates just hit a record anyway.
DAT reports contract van and re**er rates posted their biggest June-to-July jump on record, with van spot and contract rates hitting parity at $2.39/mile. It's a capacity story, not a demand one - fewer trucks are setting the price, so slow volumes won't mean cheap capacity this fall.
