Seasonal harvests are winding down, but capacity is still tight for reefer freight. Sacramento to Denver gained 29¢ at $2.55/mile. That’s led to higher reefer rates on the West Coast and in the Midwest. Potato shippers seem to be feeling the effects of the ELD protests that have been scattered across the country.
