In June, spot market freight availability posted a 112 percent boost over June 2009, although load volume was down 11 percent from May
, according to TransCore's market research.

TransCore attributes the June drop to a two-month decline in flatbed load availability. Meanwhile, loads for dry vans and refrigerated vans rose 2 percent in June. Month-over-month increases are typical in this season, TransCore said.

For the second quarter, spot market freight availability gained 60 percent over the first quarter and 331 percent over the second quarter of last year.

Looking forward to August, the best combinations of high freight volumes and favorable inbound-to-outbound load ratios come from Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, Missouri and California, TransCore says.
