Overview
As carriers leave the market and regulatory limits on driving hours and insurance tighten, fleet growth stalls, and rejection rates on critical lanes cross 9.5 percent in 2026. Shippers experience significant spikes in spot rates during disruption (in the range of 20–40%) due to carriers prioritizing high-yield freight.
In order to deal with these spikes in demand, InstiCo Logistics implements drop trailer programs, where we position pre-loaded or empty trailers at your facilities for carriers to hook and depart, reducing your reliance on live-load availability.
