Surface Transportation Pricing and Cost Acceleration
In North American Surface Transportation (NAST), total revenue grew 23.1% YoY to $3.59B. Average truckload linehaul costs per mile (ex-fuel) rose 29.0% YoY due to capacity contractions and elevated diesel fuel costs, outpacing customer rate increases of 25.5% YoY and putting pressure on contractual truckload margins while spot margins and LTL volumes increased.
