FTR’s monthly Trucking Conditions Index moved higher in November, meaning even stronger conditions for carriers. Cheap diesel played a part in November’s increase, FTR reports, as did strong freight volumes associated with Christmas shopping season.

Capacity will increase this year, FTR says, as the loosening of hours-of-service rules should ease truck utilization. ccjdigital/money-monday-more-freight-cheap-diesel-improving-rates-push-trucking-conditions-higher/
