AFS Logistics , an industry-leading third-party logistics (3PL) provider, and TD Cowen announce the fourth quarter (Q4) 2023 release of the TD Cowen/AFS Freight Index, a snapshot with predictive pricing for truckload, less-than-truckload (LTL) and parcel transportation markets.

Key Points:

AFS Logistics , an industry-leading third-party logistics (3PL) provider, and TD Cowen announce the fourth quarter (Q4) 2023 release of the TD Cowen/AFS Freight Index, a snapshot with predictive pricing for truckload, less-than-truckload (LTL) and parcel transportation markets.
For parcel, the index anticipates a year-over-year (YoY) decline in ground parcel rates for the second straight quarter and growth in express parcel rates consistent with established seasonal trends.
The Q3 index data validates that expectation, with the LTL rate per pound index growing 2.2% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) following the Yellow collapse in August.
For Q4, the index projects truckload freight to continue this trend, remaining relatively flat with modest, sequential improvement to 4.6% above the January 2018 baseline, which fits expectations for a muted peak season.
