Rejection rates have surged past the 21% level on the national level. Meanwhile, volumes have turned positive year-over-year. The combination of tightening capacity and stronger demand is placing upward pressure on rates.
Volumes turn downward heading into the Christmas week while rejection rates have rebound back above 20%. Carriers still maintain a firm grip on pricing power in the market.
Volume levels are following a similar trend to 2019, just 40% higher. Tender rejection rates are trending sideways, likely to move higher over the next week.
