How to use this number
Shippers: a bid far under $2.26 on this lane is a carrier who has not priced the return trip. Expect service problems. Carriers and owner-operators: this is the midpoint; your truck, your backhaul and the week decide whether you sit above or below it. Brokers and agents: quote from the recent median and keep the spread in mind when the shipper pushes back.
