Freight Region Report

Arizona

Shouldn’t be too difficult. Day to day consistency is prevalent. Good week to move melons.

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.

Eastern United States

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

Georgia

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.

Florida (Northern)

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.

With Mother's Day flowers and road checks the last couple weeks, coverage is bound to somewhat improve. Remaining limited overall until produce season settles down.
