See where shipping rates are for the week of Monday, October 5th through Friday, October 9th. Every major green coffee warehouse lane in North America, truckload and intermodal, in one table.

This week's read: Twelve truckload lanes moved up, five came down, and rail eased on every intermodal lane. Baltimore (Sparrows Point) to Alameda is up $1,245, Continental to Houston up $440, Baltimore to Portland up $400, Green Room to Alameda up $390 and Alameda to NJ up $350. NOLA to NJ is up $325. On the way down, Alameda to Vancouver eased $330, Alameda to Portland came down $155 and Houston to NJ dropped $95. Rail came down $15 to $45 on all ten intermodal lanes. It still beats truck by $1,815 to $4,445 on eight lanes. Houston to NJ and New Orleans to NJ remain the exceptions where truck is the cheaper move. One scheduling note: on this week's quote pass, Tuesday rail pickups out of Houston to NJ, Houston to Alameda and New Orleans to NJ priced $426, $229 and $589 higher than Wednesday through Friday. Book those for midweek.

Truckload = per load, dry van, fuel included. Intermodal = lowest available pickup-day rate for the week, per load. “N/A” = no intermodal service currently offered on that lane. WK/WK = change vs. our last published index (week of September 28).

Don't guess what you should be paying. Know.

Send us one lane you're booking this week: origin, destination, and the weight. Within one hour you'll get our rate on that lane, the current spot-market benchmark, and a straight answer. Either we beat your number, or we tell you you've already got the best deal.

Either way, you'll know exactly where your freight spend stands, and it costs you one email.

No contracts. No minimum volume. No sales calls unless you ask for one.

These are spot rates, good for pickups this week only. The index reprices next week. If a number above works for your freight, lock it before it moves.
