Step 1 — What kind of market is this?
Freight Market Conditions Interpreter
Enter publicly available freight indicators — Cass Shipments, TL/LTL PPI, diesel trend, GDP goods direction, and optionally OTRI/OTVI from your own SONAR subscription — and get a plain-language market read: tightening, loosening, transitional, or supply-constrained. Plus rate positioning context against your own cost floor. US market only (v1). Educational tool — not financial or rate advice.

Step 2 — Are rate signals rising or falling?
Freight Rate Trend Tracker
Enter TL and LTL PPI values or optionally load a cached FRED/BLS public-data snapshot. Get period-over-period percent change, trend direction (rising / falling / flat), and a combined rate environment read. Optional reference range shows where the current period sits relative to your entered high and low. Educational tool — not financial or rate advice.

Step 3 — Are operating costs strengthening?
Carrier Cost Pressure Index
Compare how fast your operating costs are rising against how fast your freight rates are moving. Enter prior and current values for diesel, insurance, maintenance, equipment, and other operating costs alongside your average freight rate and get a self-computed cost pressure spread — RELIEVING, NEUTRAL, BUILDING, or CRITICAL. Not an official market index. Educational tool only.

Step 4 — Is available capacity tightening?
Supply Constraint Estimator
Estimate how tight freight capacity looks based on supply-side signals you enter — OTRI, Cass Shipments, TL PPI, diesel, carrier exits, and driver availability. Self-computed graded read: LOW, MODERATE, ELEVATED, or HIGH. Focuses specifically on supply-side tightness degree, not broad market conditions. All values user-entered. Educational tool only.

Step 5 — Where are we in the freight cycle?
Freight Market Cycle Position Tool
Classify where the current freight market appears to sit in the freight cycle — Recovery, Peak, Contraction, or Trough — based on the signals you enter. Self-computed phase scoring from volume, rate, capacity, cost, and diesel signals. Confidence: LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH. All values user-entered. Educational tool only.
