PORTLAND, Ore. –Trans-Core’s North American Freight Index suggests spot market freight is up almost 300% compared to a year ago.

The index also reached its strongest month since November 2005, which was a record year for spot market freight.

Load volume was up nearly 25% compared to March, more than double the average month-over-month increase for this season, TransCore reports.

The company is on pace to post more than 60 million loads and trucks this year across its services.
