A year ago, at this time, the truckload (TL) market was booming. And, for good reason, due to various factors, including the pandemic stimulus driving increased consumer spending, elevated rates, and hyper-tight capacity. Now, a year letter, demand is ebbing down in tandem with rates coming off of record-high levels. While that may be good for shippers, there's still plenty for them to monitor in the form of record-high inflation and diesel prices, and, of course, the interminable need for truck drivers. Indeed, some of the previous challenges have lessened, but the current state of the TL market is far from fluid in terms of market equilibrium. |
