Key takeaways
- SONAR’s new Accepted SONAR Truckload Volume Index (ASTVI) fills that gap.
- The index is available at the national, regional, and market levels and updates daily.
- The distinction between tendered and accepted freight is especially meaningful in soft market conditions, when routing guide compliance deteriorates and the spread between offered and accepted loads widens.
SONAR Launches Accepted Truckload Volume Index to Close the Gap Between Tendered and Moving Freight Julie Van de Kamp Wed, June 10, 2026 at 9:46 PM GMT+7 1 min read Tender acceptance rates have long signaled stress in the truckload market — but until now, users had no direct index tracking the volume of freight that actually cleared that process and moved.
SONAR’s new Accepted SONAR Truckload Volume Index (ASTVI) fills that gap. The dataset family isolates accepted truckload demand by stripping out rejection activity, giving a cleaner read on what’s actually flowing through the market versus what was simply offered.
The index is available at the national, regional, and market levels and updates daily. It covers total accepted volume, van, and reefer — with week-over-week, month-over-month, and year-over-year change metrics for each.
