Executive Signal
Supply-tight, fuel-heavy and highly selective.
Aggregate freight remains uneven, but the qualified truck pool has contracted faster than demand. Diesel is near its 2022 record, intermodal is gaining share and industrial signals are stronger than broad retail freight. The response is tighter lane-level pricing, earlier booking, disciplined carrier quality and targeted customer growth.
The brief synthesizes publicly available government data, official releases, primary documents and clearly labeled industry interpretation. Data may be revised by issuing organizations, and descriptive source links accompany every edition.
