DAT reports new records in its August Truckload Volume Index

As has been the case for a while, another month brought another batch of record data, according to the most recent edition of the DAT Truckload Volume Index (TVI), which was issued last week by DAT Freight & Analytics.

The DAT Truckload Volume Index (TVI) reflects the change in the number of loads with a pickup date during that month, with the actual index number normalized each month to accommodate any new data sources without distortion, with a baseline of 100 equal to the number of loads moved in January 2015. It measures dry van, refrigerated (reefer), and flatbed trucks moved by truckload carriers.

The August reading for the TVI—at 231—increased 2% from July and posted a 17% annual increase and is one of the five highest months on record. July came in at 222, which was preceded by June’s 237 (the all-time record), and May’s 212.
