Hanjin bankruptcy fallout likely to drive spot market rates up

A load-to-truck imbalance created by Hanjin’s bankruptcy will likely put upward pressure on spot market rates, especially for loads originating on the West Coast and heading east.

September 27, 2016

This graph from DAT shows the recent Hanjin-caused jump in outbound loads in the Los Angeles area.

These two factors have created a load-to-truck imbalance, which puts upward pressure on rates.
