    New Truckload Datasets: Deeper Volume, Capacity & Market Insights
    Jan 5 2026
    Welcome back to WithSONAR! This week, we’re highlighting SONAR’s new Truckload Datasets—an enhancement to the same tender data you already know and trust. In this session, we’ll walk through the four new dataset categories: Volumes (STVI): Expanded market, trailer type, and length-of-haul intelligence—still indexed to 10k from 4/1/2019, but with far greater depth than legacy OTVI Rejections (STRI): A leading indicator for spot rate movement, showing carrier sentiment and capacity tightness at a granular market level Market Share (STMS): Identifies which markets drive the most truckload activity and where network imbalances may create opportunity Tender Lead Time (STLT): Reveals shipper sentiment and capacity expectations, helping you identify markets where support—and opportunity—is emerging These datasets are available today within your Custom Dashboards with your SONAR login. 📩 Have questions?
