California (Northern)
Central California will be the most demanding with produce volumes heightened. Northern California is the best area in California for coverage.
California (Southern)
Carriers getting back on the road will help the market early in the week. Rates will likely rise as the weekend approaches.

Philadelphia and New Jersey more limited. Central Pennsylvania, a little better and stable. Western Pennsylvania, more plentiful. The Northeast will hold onto abundant availability.

Will be the toughest area to secure trucks. Mother's Day flower shipments last week hindered capacity and DOT Blitz will make things more difficult.

Will be the toughest area to secure trucks. Mother's Day flower shipments last week hindered capacity and DOT Blitz will make things more difficult.
