Rig Load is a freight market prediction platform where transportation professionals forecast where the industry is heading.
We aggregate predictions on freight rates, market indices and industry events to surface the crowd's best read on what's coming next in trucking, logistics and supply chain.
Markets can be yes/no, numeric or multiple choice. Forecasters build their track record by being right and by being early when the crowd has not settled yet.
The freight market is notoriously difficult to predict. Rates swing based on capacity, fuel costs, regulations and countless other factors. Traditional forecasts come from individual analysts or models — but research shows that aggregated predictions from diverse and informed participants often outperform experts.
Rig Load puts that principle into practice for freight.
Rig Load analysis starts with public, checkable sources: rate indexes, government data, trade reporting, company disclosures and other primary or industry sources. When a story depends on a specific market, we link that market so readers can compare the argument with the crowd's forecast.
We keep a clear line between reporting, crowd consensus and final outcomes. Articles explain the forces moving the market. Prediction pages show what forecasters expect. Resolved markets show the actual result, the resolution source and any context needed to understand the outcome.
Freight data changes, sources revise series and markets sometimes need more context after resolution. When that happens, we update the public record instead of letting stale context linger. If you see a source issue, a broken link or a market that needs a clearer resolution note, send it through the contact page.
Rig Load does not provide investment advice, regulatory guidance or official industry forecasts. Markets reflect aggregated participant expectations and are not a substitute for professional analysis or decision-making. All markets resolve using official public data sources.
Rig Load uses an organization byline because the project needs to stay separate from individual employers and customer relationships. The standard does not change: factual claims need sources, resolution criteria need to be explicit and every market should be understandable without knowing who created it.
