From Origin to Destination: How Sourcing Shifts Are Changing US Shipping Patterns
Trucking Market Report: First Quarter Review & Outlook
The first quarter is typically the slowest period of the year for trucking activity, but not in 2021. An ongoing boom in US imports and increased industrial output kept the pressure on truckload and less-than-truckload capacity in January and February. Winter storms then swept in and froze available truck capacity in large swathes of the US, especially the Central South. Those factors, and a slow rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, have kept rates rising. Shippers and carriers are coming to grips with rising costs in contract negotiations. Now, more than ever, a higher degree of collaboration and partnership is needed to ensure shippers are able to secure the capacity they need to serve their customers at a price they can afford.
This free webcast will dive into the factors driving today’s trucking market and analyze how the remainder of 2021 might play out.
