Memphis doesn’t sing the blues for capacity
|
SONAR Key Market Insights – Memphis
|
Memphis has finally seen the relief in capacity constraints it has needed since the end of 2025. Outbound tender rejections have fallen 4.5% week over week for an OTRI of 11.15%.
Capacity becoming more readily available has been a great help as shippers get outbound tender volumes back online, with a 23.05% increase w/w.
Spot rates are trending downward in Memphis, as demand levels settle in for the typical January trend. Something to watch is outbound tender rejections taking a 180-degree turn and increasing, as that could put inflationary pressure on the spot market.
