RXO Inc. has released its latest Curve truckload market forecast, showing a third consecutive quarter of decelerating spot rate growth in the U.S. truckload freight industry. According to the report, spot rates increased 1.8% year-over-year in the third quarter of 2025, down from 6.5% in the second quarter and 9.1% in the first quarter. The analysis highlights continued muted freight volumes, ongoing cost pressures for carriers, and a trend of carriers exiting the market due to prolonged low rates and regulatory challenges. While peak season shipping could introduce some rate volatility, overall freight volumes are expected to remain subdued. RXO's report warns that the truckload capacity environment is increasingly fragile, and any uptick in demand or further capacity exits could lead to rate volatility going into 2026.
