The FTR Experts were posed with the question, "Does the spot market “truck loads” mean how many times a truck was loaded with goods whether the truck was partially or fully loaded before it shipped? If yes, I’m trying to understand how this is possible given there is nowhere near a 150% increase in available trailers vs. a year ago. Also, I thought drivers were a constraint as well."
The FTR Experts were posed with the question, "What is the impact of spot rate increases/decreases on a company revenue profile? We are getting conflicting views. Does a 30% increase in spot rate means a 30% increase in revenue. In other words, how should we incorporate spot market changes into our revenue assumptions."
