According to FreightWaves, the Southeastern region in the U.S. has seen a significant increase in truckload carriers turning down loads, reaching their highest rejection rates since July 2022. This marks a shift from the region's previous trend of low volatility in capacity. Atlanta, a major outbound market in the Southeast, has experienced a doubling of outbound rejection rates since last summer. The imbalance in freight flow and demand shifts have led to challenges in carrier compliance and the need for reorganizing networks in the region, potentially impacting service quality as the market becomes more susceptible to disruptions.
