What the dashboard provides
BTS publishes a collection of supply-chain and freight indicators developed with other federal agencies. The measures help users follow changes in freight activity, congestion, inventories, prices and employment.
How to use it
Treat national indicators as context rather than a rate quote. Compare them with customer tenders, accepted loads, dwell time, deadhead and revenue per total mile in the lanes your fleet actually serves.
Small-fleet takeaway
Track a short, consistent set of numbers each week. A repeatable view of cash flow and lane performance is more useful than reacting to a single headline.
