Spot rates pulled back modestly for van equipment in Week 22, while flatbed extended its record-setting run.

Here's what Truckstop.com and FTR showed for Week 22 (ending June 5):

1️⃣ Dry Van
Rates fell 3.7 cents after five straight weeks of gains, though all-in rates still ran 55% above the same 2025 week. Load volume rose 13.8% and was more than 53% higher than last year.

2️⃣ Re**er
Rates dropped 11 cents for the second consecutive week, with declines concentrated in the Southeast and Midwest. All-in rates still ran about 50% above the same 2025 week, and load volume was up 8.8% after the holiday-week pullback.

3️⃣ Flatbed
Rates rose just over 5 cents to another all-time high, the 28th increase in 29 weeks. Volume jumped 7.4% and ran 71% above the same week last year.

What this means
The van pullback fits the seasonal pattern between Memorial Day and late June, and rates remain well above year-ago levels heading into a period where dry van could set an all-time record by early July. Flatbed keeps running its own race, driven by sustained demand that has pushed rates higher in all but one of the last 29 weeks.
