Market rate
Use the lane benchmark as a reference point for a conversation. It describes market context; it is not a commitment to move your specific shipment at that amount.
Turn a lane question
into a rate conversation.
Start with the shipment you actually need to price. Read the market reference, check the context, then make your own call. Run this research in the LaneVision Freight Rates app, in the Trulos app, or in Trulos Dispatch.
1. Define the route and equipment
Enter the origin city and state, followed by the destination city and state. Choose the equipment that matches the work—in Trulos Dispatch, that is Dry Van, Flatbed, Box Truck or Step Deck. A comparison between unlike equipment is not a reliable basis for a quote.
Miles are optional. Advanced options provide additional search criteria when you need them. Check the inputs before submitting; a reversed route or wrong equipment can change the meaning of the answer.
2. Run the lane search
Choose Search Lane. LaneVision uses Farelanes paid-to-truck market information to return intelligence for that route. You are researching market behavior—not requesting a guaranteed carrier quote.
For a lane already in your history, use Recent Searches rather than reconstructing the route from scratch. Starting on the Dispatch load board also lets you open a load and transfer its lane details into the search.

3. Read each part of the result
30-day RPM
RPM means rate per mile. The 30-day view helps you examine the lane on a mileage basis. Keep the comparison consistent with the distance and rate you are evaluating.
Map and trend
Use the map to check the route. When enough recent observations are available, the RPM trend adds a view over time. A missing chart is not the same as a zero rate.
IN THE LANEVISION APP
The same lane view on your phone.
These screens are from LaneVision Freight Rates for iPhone. The app shows rate-per-mile averages over 3 days, 7 days, 30 days and longer, so you can see whether a lane is heating up or cooling off. LaneVision is also built into the Trulos app.
4. Put the offered rate beside the market
If you have a proposed carrier payment or an offer on a load, enter it in the offered-rate field. LaneVision indicates whether it sits above or below the market reference. That makes the difference easier to discuss, but it does not tell the whole story.
A tight appointment, a difficult delivery, extra handling or unfavorable repositioning can justify a different number. Use the comparison as a prompt to ask why the shipment differs—not as an automatic accept-or-reject signal.
5. Save the reasoning with a printable report
Print the lane report when you need a record of the research behind a price discussion. Add your shipment requirements and business assumptions to your own notes. Recent Searches makes it easier to revisit a route, but recheck time-sensitive freight rather than assuming an older benchmark still applies.
How lane research differs from broad market averages
Trulos also publishes public Freight Rates pages. Those describe national or state averages weighted by load volume, with 7-, 14-, 30-, 60- and 90-day views for van, flatbed and reefer. They help you survey the wider market. LaneVision asks a narrower question: what does the route and equipment in front of you look like?
Use broad information to frame a market conversation and lane research to examine the specific move. Neither substitutes for checking shipment details or knowing your own costs.
GOOD QUESTIONS
A clearer view of LaneVision.
Why is an RPM trend missing?
Some lanes do not have sufficient recent Farelanes data to display a trend. Check a nearby market or a broader lane and treat that comparison as context, not an exact replacement.
Which trailers or equipment can I select?
In Trulos Dispatch, the lane search offers Dry Van, Flatbed, Box Truck and Step Deck. In the LaneVision app, choose your equipment on the search screen; its load board covers dry van, flatbed, reefer, step deck, hot shot, power only and more. Match the equipment to the shipment before interpreting a result.
Can I compare a quoted rate?
Yes. Add an offered rate to the search to see its position above or below the market benchmark. Consider the shipment’s requirements before deciding whether to accept.
