FreightWaves SONAR has launched the Accepted SONAR Truckload Volume Index (ASTVI), a new dataset family that isolates accepted truckload demand by stripping out rejected tenders to provide a cleaner read on what freight is actually moving through the market. Available at national, regional, and market levels with daily updates, ASTVI covers total accepted volume, dry van, and reefer segments, including week-over-week, month-over-month, and year-over-year change metrics. The index addresses a critical visibility gap in freight markets: the distinction between tendered and accepted freight is especially meaningful in soft market conditions when routing guide compliance deteriorates and the spread between offered and accepted loads widens. The tool gives brokers, carriers, shippers, and analysts a direct view of actual freight flow without manual calculation.
