π¨ 2026 Update: Current State of U.S. Domestic Freight
According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), the Freight Transportation Services Index (TSI) β which measures the month-to-month changes in freight shipments by for-hire carriers β fell 0.6% in January 2026 from December 2025 and fell 0.3% from January 2025 .
What this means for your cheat sheet: Domestic freight volumes are contracting slightly. Some commodities are being shipped in lower volumes than in 2025, though certain sectors (air freight, rail carloads, trucking) actually increased in January 2026
