The Cass Truckload Linehaul Index is an accurate, timely indicator of market fluctuations in per-mile dry van truckload pricing in the U.S. The index isolates the linehaul component of full truckload costs from other components (e.g. fuel and accessorials), providing an accurate reflection of trends in baseline truckload prices.
Data within this unique index is derived from actual freight invoices paid on behalf of Cass clients, and is a mix of contract and spot rates. The data represents the month in which transactions are processed by Cass, not necessarily the month when the corresponding shipments took place. The index uses January 2005 as its base month.
