About This Session

After several years of volatility and uncertainty, the freight markets appear to be entering a new phase of equilibrium. Additional interest rate cut could spur increased consumer confidence and demand, while a number of federal initiative could result in tighter trucking conditions. Cooling trade tensions between China and the US could provide much needed stability to global trade and provide much needed stability to supply chains. However, persistent cost pressures, ongoing labor challenges, and shifting consumer trends continue to shape the transportation landscape.
