Pretty simple message here and I'll let Zach Strickland describe it below in his own words for FreightWaves.

We all know the weather that pounded the entire country last week, but I find the DAT Capacity weekly graph below fascinating.

This is always a good report to go over. We've also included the monthly contract rates vs. spot rates charge per DAT. It's showing contract rates are resuming their traditional "lead" over spot rates. Rates ebb and flow with market conditions, but contract rates are traditionally higher.

Just as rates seem to stabilize a bit and LTL performance improves, mother nature hits and messes it all up. Certain areas of the country are taking a beating which is having an impact on capacity, service, and rates. If it ain't one thing, it's another!

Signs continue to be encouraging for some relief (hopefully not temporary) from the record high rates and record low LTL performance of late. The path ahead still is murky, but should be much more calm vs. the recent 6-7 months.

Dare we say there is some light showing down that tunnel? Our estimate is that there is indeed some light, although it may be more a signal light before the tunnel takes another turn.

Short and not-so-sweet message this week. LTL carrier performance is BAD! We have been pointing this out for months now, but either much of our audience isn't reading this or is having difficulty understanding it so we are going to repeat the message again.

So much is changing in the freight industry. Carriers are changing rules tariffs regularly, adjusting their methods of pricing and unfortunately, they don't really give you a lot of notice or explanation.
