## Description

June sits in the heart of the summer shipping season, historically one of the stronger months for spot truckload demand. Beverage, produce and consumer goods freight peaks as retailers push inventory for Q3. The Sonar NTI.USA national truckload index must close the month above $3.15 to resolve YES. With capacity contracting and ACT Research noting the For-Hire Driver Availability Index tightened to 35.0 in March 2026, supply-side pressure supports rate firmness. Fuel remains a wildcard: if Hormuz traffic resumes and diesel drops, the national spot rate could soften even as underlying linehaul rates rise.

## Resolution criteria

Resolves YES if FreightWaves SONAR NTI.USA reads above $3.15/mile on the last business day of June 2026. Resolves NO if NTI.USA reads at or below $3.15/mile. If data is unavailable on the final business day, the most recent prior reading is used. NTI.USA is the all-in rate including fuel surcharge. Source: FreightWaves SONAR.
