📈 Operating Context

Truckload Spot Rates Keep Moving Higher

RXO's truckload spot-rate index rose 16.5% year over year in the first quarter and reached its highest level in more than four years, with second-quarter spot rates continuing to rise sequentially and year over year.

**Practical takeaway:** Higher transportation costs strengthen the case for well-located IOS yards near freight, contractor, and fleet-service nodes where users can reduce deadhead and repositioning time.
