TransCore’s Canadian Freight Index that tracks the spot market, remained steady in November with no change from October 2011 levels. However, year-over-year load volumes increased a healthy 17 percent. Historically, November experiences a decrease in spot freight but November 2011 was the second best November on record, with levels just behind those reached in November 2005. TransCore began recording data in 2001 when TransCore acquired Link Logistics.
Equipment postings in November were up 5 percent from October, however the lowest levels for any November since 2005. Capacity was 8 percent below recorded levels for November 2010.
There was no change in the equipment-to-loads from volumes reached in October.
