The release
BTS announced a new Freight Analysis Framework benchmark at the end of July. FAF estimates the movement of goods among U.S. regions and international gateways using federal survey and trade data.
Why trucking cares
Long-term freight-flow data can show the importance of highway corridors, distribution markets and commodity groups. It can support planning for infrastructure, terminals and equipment.
Avoid overreading it
A benchmark does not predict next week’s load volume. Dispatch and pricing decisions still require current customer, lane, fuel and capacity information.
