Tender rejection rates in Dallas above national average

SONAR Key Market Insights: Dallas

Highlights

Tender rejection rates in Dallas are back above the national average, rising by 11 basis points in the past week to 9.46%.

Volumes out of the Dallas market are down significantly, but the decline is similar to the overall market as the seven-day moving average deals with the drop associated with the holidays.

The holidays and increased rejection rates are putting upward pressure on spot rates out of Dallas as 46% of outbound lanes have above-average rate increases.
