Transport capacity is well above what is needed for normal plasma concentrations to ensure that adequate absorption occurs and that there is little/no wastage.  As you are getting transport of sodium, chloride and water simultaneously the concentration does not increase along the proximal tubule. However the volume of filtrate does decrease

Transport capacity is well above what is needed for normal plasma concentrations to ensure that adequate absorption occurs and that there is little/no wastage.  As sodium, chloride and water are reabsorbed at the same rate, the filtrate concentrations remains the same along the proximal tubule. Only the volume of the filtrate decreases.
