The truckload market isn’t slowing down—are your strategies keeping pace? Dr. Chris Caplice, DAT’s Chief Scientist, explains how data science is transforming shipper operations: ✅ Navigate market trends ➡️ Spot rates are like weather—unpredictable from day to day—while contract rates resemble the climate, changing gradually. Data science helps you anticipate both. ✅ Optimize contract strategy ➡️ By analyzing historical data, you can identify which lanes are more likely to fail, helping you decide when to contract or rely on the spot market. ✅ Leverage dynamic rates ➡️ Move beyond static “market rates.” With data-driven insights, you can tailor rates to fit your carrier relationships and shipment needs.

Hot Market of the Week🔥 This week, we focus on the Philadelphia market, the second-largest reefer spot market in winter. It specializes in perishable goods and handles a significant portion of South American imports. Chile's counter-seasonal growing cycle aligns perfectly with North America's winter, making it a top source of fresh produce, including fresh fruits, particularly grapes, cherries, blueberries, apples, and avocados. Peru is known for exporting asparagus, avocados, blueberries, mangoes, and citrus fruits, while Ecuador is the major exporter of bananas and plantains year-round. #SupplyChain #FreightMarket #Trucking
