Estes Forwarding Worldwide (EFW) — A complete, continuous time series of a forwarder's proprietary cost pass-through rulebook. Each weekly customer letter states the two DOE/EIA benchmark prices for that week and the resulting surcharge, and attaches the full bracket tables: the mapping from a Gulf Coast kerosene-jet price band to a premium surcharge in dollars per pound, and from a national on-highway diesel price band to an economy surcharge as a percentage of the freight charge. Read as a series rather than one letter, those scales are a price-transmission function — they show exactly how …

A complete, continuous time series of a forwarder's proprietary cost pass-through rulebook. Each weekly customer letter states the two DOE/EIA benchmark prices for that week and the resulting surcharge, and attaches the full bracket tables: the mapping from a Gulf Coast kerosene-jet price band to a premium surcharge in dollars per pound, and from a national on-highway diesel price band to an economy surcharge as a percentage of the freight charge. Read as a series rather than one letter, those scales are a price-transmission function — they show exactly how a fuel-price shock converts into air-freight and ground-forwarding price, with what lag and what step granularity, for every week the program has run. The genuinely non-public layer sits underneath: per-shipment records that combine chargeable weight, service class (premium air/expedited vs economy), lane including Hawaii/Alaska/Puerto Rico trades, applied surcharge and net line-haul rate. Combining that with the published scale recovers realised yield per shipment net of fuel — a yield series for the expedited air-cargo market that no public index provides.

Efwnow offers (Alternative, Price, Supply Chain) — Published layer: one letter per week for the life of the program — est. 10^2-10^3 dated PDFs, each carrying two ~50-row bracket tables, and the uploads path is date-partitioned by year and month so the full historical series is enumerable. Underlying layer: est. 10^7-10^9 shipment-level billing records over a decade at the estimated weekly volume.
Freight-yield and spot-rate modelling for expedited air cargo (the market where published rate indices are thinnest); cost-transmission and inflation-passthrough research — this is a clean causal dataset because the input price is public and the output surcharge is published, isolating pricing behaviour; airline and integrated-carrier margin forecasting; fuel-demand nowcasting for jet fuel and diesel from surcharge levels; and the ML-adjacent niche of document/table extraction and OCR training on financial notice PDFs. For an equity buyer the sharpest use is back-building realised yield per chargeable pound, which is the closest available proxy for expedited-cargo pricing power.
