Unlock Leading Indicators for Drayage Demand
While SONAR doesn’t contain drayage rates yet, certain data sets provide a look forward at demand that can help carriers be nimble with timely adjustments to resource levels. Total drayage capacity in a particular market doesn’t typically change much from day to day or week to week, but demand can fluctuate based on the volume of containers coming off the docks or into a rail yard.
