Permanent weekly reports on freight demand, capacity, costs, service risk, regulation and commercial opportunity.
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.
Capacity tightens faster than freight demand
Aggregate freight demand remains soft, but carrier exits, stricter qualification, high operating costs and selective capacity are keeping prices elevated. The practical response is tighter lane-level pricing, deeper carrier options, disciplined fuel treatment and documented carrier selection.
