Seattle has consistently had readily available capacity throughout the year, often with outbound tender rejections struggling to stay about 2%. Currently, the OTRI is at 6.78%.
Rejections may be slightly elevated compared to the national average, but volumes are trending downward, dropping 1.35% week over week, contributing to loosening capacity.
Shippers and brokers can expect decent contract carrier compliance and predictable spot rates in line with the National Truckload Index of $2.29 per mile.
