Atlanta has remained a relatively stable market for a majority of the year, but in the past month or so has started to see some changes in outbound tender rejections falling below the national average.
The OTRI has dropped 1.14% week over week to 4.55%. Significant swings in a large market like Atlanta can pose a risk to capacity constraints. However, the swings are staying at or under the national average OTRI, which isn’t creating a significant impact in the market.
As Thanksgiving comes around, trends will start to change in the market. The OTVS will continue to fall, albeit at a slower pace, but we will start to see the OTRI flip and create a bit of a capacity constraint over the next week.
