Every major green coffee warehouse lane in North America, truckload and intermodal, in one table. **This week's read:** Ten truckload lanes held and seven moved up. Alameda to Vancouver is up $160, Houston to NJ up $130, Alameda to Portland up $110 and NOLA to NJ up $105. Houston to Alameda is up $95. Diesel eased about 15 cents a gallon this week but is still far above its year-to-date average. The ten held lanes are Continental to Houston, Alameda and Seattle, both Sparrows Point lanes, NOLA to Houston, Alameda to NJ, Alameda to Seattle, and Seattle to NJ and Alameda. Where the market softened we held last week's number rather than move it down for a week and back up the next. Rail moved up $30 to $110 on eight intermodal lanes and came down $40 to $55 on both Baltimore lanes. It still beats truck by $1,470 to $4,120 on every lane out of New Jersey and Baltimore and on both Pacific to NJ backhauls. 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 and New Orleans priced $429 and $594 higher than Wednesday through Friday, and Alameda to NJ was sold out Tuesday. Book those for midweek. | ORIGIN | DESTINATION | TRUCKLOAD | WK/WK | INTERMODAL | WK/WK | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Continental, NJ | Dupuy / Cadeco, Houston | **$5,010** | flat | as low as **$3,475** | ▲ $45 | | Continental, NJ | Annex / Royal Oak, Alameda | **$7,155** | flat | as low as **$3,980** | ▲ $50 | | Continental, NJ | Green Room, Seattle | **$8,375** | flat | as low as **$4,255** | ▲ $55 | | RPM Sparrows Point, MD | Annex / Royal Oak, Alameda | **$5,945** | flat | as low as **$4,475** | ▼ $55 | | RPM Sparrows Point, MD | Costa Oro, Portland | **$7,665** | flat | as low as **$5,530** | ▼ $40 | | Dupuy / Cadeco, Houston | Continental, NJ | **$5,270** | ▲ $130 | as low as **$5,410** | ▲ $50 | | Dupuy / Cadeco, Houston | Dupuy, New Orleans | **$1,700** | ▲ $60 | N/A | | | Dupuy / Cadeco, Houston | Annex / Royal Oak, Alameda | **$5,175** | ▲ $95 | as low as **$3,585** | ▲ $30 | | Dupuy, New Orleans | Dupuy / Cadeco, Houston | **$1,230** | flat | N/A | | | Dupuy, New Orleans | Continental, NJ | **$4,330** | ▲ $105 | as low as **$8,685** | ▲ $75 | | Annex / Royal Oak, Alameda | Continental, NJ | **$9,675** | flat | as low as **$6,075** | ▲ $110 | | Annex / Royal Oak, Alameda | Green Room, Seattle | **$3,790** | flat | N/A | | | Annex / Royal Oak, Alameda | Costa Oro, Portland | **$3,380** | ▲ $110 | N/A | | | Green Room, Seattle | Continental, NJ | **$8,895** | flat | as low as **$4,865** | ▲ $50 | | Green Room, Seattle | Annex, Alameda | **$1,810** | flat | N/A | | | Annex / Royal Oak, Alameda | Seaforth, Vancouver BC | **$5,010** | ▲ $160 | N/A | | | Green Room, Seattle | Seaforth, Vancouver BC | **$995** | ▲ $20 | N/A | | Truckload = per load, dry van, fuel included.

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