# BTS Publishes Freight Indicators

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics published its November 2026 national supply-chain and freight indicators update on November 4. The monthly data covers port activity, rail and truck movement, freight rates, labor and capacity, and related economic measures. It is not a solicitation or contract announcement, but it gives transportation, logistics, infrastructure, and supply-chain analytics contractors current information for assessing market conditions and planning their business activity.

- Transportation and logistics firms can use the indicators to inform operating assumptions about freight movement, rates, labor, and capacity.
- Infrastructure and supply-chain analytics contractors can draw on the monthly national data to support market analysis and planning; the signal identifies no specific contract opportunity or procurement deadline.
