RapidShips research
Freight Research
Each report answers one question from official datasets. Facts are the source's figures; RapidShips analysis is labelled and shows its formula. No estimates or forecasts.

Research topics
Topics are published only when official data supports them. Today that covers New Jersey warehouse and distribution, New Jersey transportation jobs, freight cost trends (price indexes), trucking market indicators and container movement at the Port of New York and New Jersey.
Not published yet, because RapidShips has not found an official source it can verify and keep current: port congestion indicators, freight capacity indicators and import and export values by port. Those gaps are listed on the sources page.
