An index of tendered volumes on a given day. It is organized by inbound (ITVI) and outbound (OTVI) volumes for the U.S., regional, and market granularity. The index was created with a base of 10,000 on a national level from March 1st 2018 volumes.
For example: If there were 10 national loads tendered on March 1st and on March 2nd there were 11 tendered loads, the March 1st OTVI.USA value would be 10000 and the March 2nd value would be 11,000. This indicates a 10% increase in volume from March 1st. Unless a specified time variation, these indices are calculated on a 7 day moving average.
Market level example: OTVI.ATL = 434.4 on March 1st. Atlanta tendered load volume was 434.4/10000 or 4.34% of the total national tendered load volume on March 1st, 2018. On August 7, 2018 OTVI.ATL is showing 459.28, meaning that the volume of tendered loads have increased by 5.7% from August 7, 2018 vs. March 1, 2018.

Tender volume provides a way to judge load volumes in various ways. As load volumes increase capacity tightens. Volumes provide insight into where demand for trucks is increasing or decreasing allowing carriers to position their fleets in the most opportune areas.
