Originally published at: State of Freight: a depressed trucking market suddenly comes to life - FreightWaves
The State of Freight webinar took place for the first time in a long time in the midst of a surging market.
We have said time and again the last 4 years that the surge of immigrants come into this country has drove the prices completely into the toilet. And now that laws are being reinforced we are starting to see a climb of the rates again to their proper levels
Quite the headline for what amounts to a hiccup in the author’s preferred direction?
How are sustained arbitrary tariffs and reciprocal trade partner punitives going to sustain anything like a recovery? How long can the economy ignore higher prices and higher transport costs? Don’t freight volumes correlate with economic and purchasing trends?
Buckle up buttercup!
