The U.S. Freight Transportation Services Index (TSI), fell 0.1% in August from July, falling for the month after one month of growth, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS).

The Freight TSI decreased in August due to decreases in air freight, rail carloads, rail intermodal, and pipeline while trucking and waterborne increased.

From August 2024 to August 2025 the index remained unchanged. The freight TSI measures the amount of freight carried by the for-hire transportation industry.
