Rates
Numerous articles this week noting how spot rates had fallen under contracted rate levels, and how this could be the start of an eventual return to pre-pandemic pricing levels.
You can see from the XSI & FBX charts below that rates had flatlined somewhat of late, but we are certainly seeing the potential for further reductions incoming. As always with spot it’s very dependent on timing and what you are looking to move, so please get in touch for any specific pricing options.

Shipping container homes are fun, but they're a lot more difficult to build than you may think. @voxdotcom's @PhilEdwardsInc spent a night in a shipping container home to see how the reality of staying in one compares with what most people expect it to be. https://t.co/UmfWB24vGX
