Dataset card

Freight Market Intelligence is a commercial dataset published by FreightWaves covering freight spot-rate and truckload market conditions. It is tagged for freight, spot-rates, truckload, and costs use cases within supply chain analytics.

What this dataset contains

The dataset focuses on freight market indicators, with metadata tags pointing to spot rates, truckload pricing, and broader freight cost metrics. Coverage scope, update cadence, and the time window of observations are not specified in the available documentation. No sample rows or row counts have been published, so the depth of historical data cannot be confirmed.

Structure and fields

No schema or column list is provided in the source record, and masked sample rows are listed as none. Without a documented field structure, the underlying variables such as lane, origin, destination, rate, or timestamp cannot be named. Analysts evaluating this product would need to obtain a schema directly from FreightWaves before integration.

How analysts use it

Given the tags around spot rates and truckload costs, plausible uses include monitoring dry van and refrigerated freight pricing, tracking carrier cost inflation, and benchmarking logistics spend against spot-market benchmarks. It could also support macro views on shipping demand tied to retail and industrial cycles, though specific column-level analyses are not possible without confirmed schema details.
