Resolves to the seasonally unadjusted BLS Producer Price Index value for industry 484121 (General freight trucking, long-distance truckload) for June 2026, as released by BLS in its monthly PPI news release. Source: https://www.bls.gov/ppi/ and FRED series PCU484121484121.
Series PCU484121484121 is the Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer Price Index for general freight trucking, long-distance truckload. Fleet finance teams use it as a contract escalator, and it is one of the cleaner government-data hooks in the freight category. Recent readings have run in the 150 to 180 range on the December 2003 = 100 base, with the February 2026 reading released April 14 and June data due in mid-July. With spot rates tightening through the spring and diesel still running above $5 a gallon, the upside band reflects the possibility that contract pricing finally catches up.
Active markets come first, followed by recently resolved calls from the same category.
