Market Monitoring

The comprehensive freight data and analytics in the SONAR platform help you with freight forecasting and tracking freight capacity to help keep freight spending under control.

Outbound Tender Rejection Index

The Outbound Tender Rejection Index is an anonymized measurement of mid-sized to large truckload carriers’ willingness to accept the loads that are offered (or tendered) by shippers. It shows supply and demand dynamics at a national, regional, state, or market level. This index helps you make decisions on accepting or rejecting loads based on tender rejections.

Outbound Tender Volume Index

The Outbound Tender Volume Index (OTVI) is the most up-to-date and reliable indicator of market demand. Use this index to see which markets are shipping the most freight, along with the trends and changes in freight volumes. OTVI shows you where freight is available in a market. Use OTVI in conjunction with the Outbound Tender Rejection Index (OTRI) to optimize your freight rates.
