Imagine trucking companies needing to move goods quickly, sometimes without a long-term plan. That's spot freight! It's like ordering a pizza – you need it now, and you pay for it right away.
It's different from usual trucking deals where companies agree on prices for a whole year. Spot freight is flexible, letting companies adjust to changes in need or price. It's like choosing the best deal when you need something immediately!
- Spot freight is for moving goods quickly, without a long-term contract.
- Prices change based on how much stuff needs to be moved and how many trucks are available.
- Companies use it for urgent shipments or to try out new trucking companies.
| Factor | Effect on Price |
|---|---|
| High demand, few trucks | Higher prices |
