Refrigerated Rates
Reefer Rates in October 2023
DAT reefer spot rates, net fuel, fell 5¢ per mile m/m to $1.87 in October, 1¢ below the normal seasonal pattern.
DAT reefer contract rates, net fuel, were down 2¢ m/m in October at $2.38, down 10% from a year ago.
To see how reefer rates change in the future, and for detailed analysis and forecasts for truckload, less-than-truckload, and intermodal, see ACT's freight & transportation forecast.
After softening seasonally from August to October as produce and beverage seasons ended, reefer trends should pick up into Thanksgiving.
