SONAR Key Market Insights: Indianapolis

Highlights

The Indianapolis market maintains a generally loose capacity but sees some tightening as the Outbound Tender Rejection Index increases 0.43% week over week. The OTRI is sitting at 6.15%, which shows that spot rates in Indy are about even with contracted rates but are trending higher.

Outbound tender volumes are up 4% w/w and 24.45% month over month. The increase in volumes can create a capacity crunch, however, since the OTRI is rising at a similar pace, the capacity constraint hasn’t been felt in Indy.

Should this trend continue, spot rates will rise, and shippers and brokers can expect less contracted carrier compliance. Secondary and tertiary carriers will start to see some elevated volumes if the OTRI sees a continued increase.
