## Description

The DAT load-to-truck ratio is one of the clearest public measures of truckload capacity tightness. A reading above 10.0 would indicate a notably tighter market, with available loads meaningfully outnumbering posted trucks. That threshold would signal a more forceful recovery than a routine seasonal move.

## Resolution criteria

Resolves YES if the DAT national dry van load-to-truck ratio exceeds 10.0 in any weekly reading between July 1 and September 30, 2026. Resolves NO otherwise. Source: [DAT Trendlines](https://www.dat.com/trendlines)
