What it measures

The 12-month change in the Producer Price Index for long-distance general freight trucking by the truckload: what carriers are paid to haul freight.

Why it matters to a small business

For owner-operators and fleets it is revenue per load. For wholesalers and anyone who ships product, it is a cost.
