How does lead time affect dry van capacity and rates?

More lead time can give a carrier additional room to review equipment, driver availability, appointment schedules, and lane requirements. Short notice freight may leave fewer scheduling options. Pricing can also change with lane demand, distance, shipment weight, appointment requirements, current market conditions, and other shipment factors, so additional lead time does not guarantee a lower rate.
