Freight availability in February more than tripled on the North American spot market from the year ago period, with a 215 percent boost in the TransCore Freight Index
. February marked the fifth straight monthly increase on a year-over-year basis, during a month that is normally weak for spot freight, according to TransCore.

February spot freight reached within 5 percent of the record levels of 2004.

The TransCore Freight Index measures truckload freight volume on load boards supported by the DAT Network, including 3sixty Freight Match, TruckersEdge.net and Link Logistics, the company's Canadian subsidiary.

Brokers, 3PLs, carriers, and owner-operators in North America list more than 50 million loads and trucks per year across a variety of services feeding TransCore's DAT Network. As a result of this high volume, TransCore's Freight Index is representative of the ups and downs in U.S. spot market freight availability.
