Spot rates largely followed seasonal expectations during the most recent week ending Nov. 6, with van and reefer rates rising and flatbed rates easing back.
Meanwhile, fuel prices fell to their lowest weekly national average since prices surged above $6 per gallon as a national average in early September.
The movement in spot rates saw flatbed fall more than expected, according to Truckstop.com and FTR Transportation Intelligence.
Dry van rates increased 1.5% (4.4 cents) to $2.89 per mile, while refrigerated rates rose 2.1% (7 cents) to $3.52/mile. Flatbed rates declined 1.7% (5.7 cents) to $3.25/mile.
