ITS Logistics June freight index warns drayage and intermodal markets face downstream price surges

The U.S. freight market is entering the 2026 peak shipping season under conditions not seen since the COVID era, with record truckload spot rates, sharply contracting capacity, and rebounding import volumes creating a volatile backdrop for drayage and intermodal operators. ITS Logistics warns that rate increases in container haulage are a matter of when, not if, as shippers accelerate a shift toward rail that is itself generating new bottlenecks. Geopolitical risk from the Strait of Hormuz and fuel costs running 50% above year-ago levels add further upside pressure on freight costs across all modes.

01SONAR's National Truckload Index hit an all-time high of $3.83 per mile, with all-in truckload costs running more than 50% higher year-over-year, according to Transportation Insight.
02U.S. containerized imports totaled 2,428,758 TEUs in May—a 6.6% month-over-month increase—while China-origin volumes surged 28.1% compared to May 2025, per Descartes Systems Group.
03The Logistics Managers' Index placed Transportation Capacity at 28.4%, well below the neutral 50% threshold, signaling accelerating contraction in available trucking supply.

Major 3PLs including GEODIS and Custom Goods are responding by repositioning customs expertise, bonded warehousing, and flexible routing as core client services.

01ITS Logistics' June Port/Rail Ramp Freight Index flags imminent downstream price surges in drayage and intermodal, compounded by a Hormuz-driven fuel shock and a broker liability ruling identified in prior monthly reports.
02GEODIS and Custom Goods are actively repositioning customs expertise, bonded warehouses, and on-demand storage as tactical responses to tariff-driven supply chain disruption.
03Structural carrier capacity constraints — tied to regulatory compliance burdens and driver workforce demographics — are amplifying rate sensitivity when import demand surges.
