Experts Claim That The Freight Market Is Turning, But What Does The Data Say? Capacity & Volumes

[@mohammadbaranishooli218]

The only change in market is fuel going up crazy

[@T680-MKE]

Amazing how the load rates go up to what they are supposed to pay at around 2PM, when the load can't be covered.

[@chalky_white]

To me personally, it feels like every single week has been getting worse since around April with the exception of a few. I'm pretty much right at the breaking point right now. I just don't see how it's worth it for anyone to stick around with the market like this.

[@adandre4796]

Agreed with you. I’m almost giving up man..

[@stevenmiller6725]

So as it turns it happens slow. You can't tell the difference between going down or up if average is at 1.65 a mile. It will suck for some time still. I have seen improvement in the lane I run. But if average is 1.65 and you see loads at a buck a mile that means someone is getting 2.50 a mile somewhere. Or 3.50. Average is very misleading. But yes I think most markets still stinking. Maybe even worse smell than last month. Brokers make more money this way.

[@DanstevGraker]

I think it's smart not to predict much, it's a wild market. My volume is up but rates to the truck are not. Shippers are demanding cheaper rates(I had one yesterday demand $1.20 a loaded mile for a 53' Van @ 25,000 lbs on 800 miles), but fuel is up. Consumer sentiment might be a bit better, but interest rates continue to climb and inflation, though lower, is still doing it's thing. I guess if their idea of a soft landing is not having deflation and massive job losses, then yeah, things are looking up. There's a lot of stuff that will take longer to come together that might actually be very good for us, but the short term outlook still seems pretty brutal, and I would say that for a real improvement, we're going to need to catch a few lucky breaks. As a business owner and consumer, now is not the time to take leveraged risks.

[@gaea5326]

It happens because we allow it. Establish a $ that makes sense. Don't haul for less. Cheaper to park it

[@charlieboy501]

$1.20 would work maybe for an electronic truck

[@rawrealitylife2959]

One major component your very excellent presentation was silent on, the commercial real-estate market is in full recession, Amazon and Walmart wiped off major builds for 2023/2024. Most of flatbed is directly related to the commercial sector. Which also feeds off the real-estate market. So what the FED is doing with interest rates is working...slowly.

[@victorsuarez2954]

Brokers have us where they want, a least that those volumes increase drastically, they have no reason to let go our balls, mega carriers are taking in all those O/O like myself, leaving the spot market for a fixed rate, and steady loads, wich is not a terrible thing to do,while taking shelter from the s..t storm. Those are my thoughts, thanks for the educational video as usual.

[@unknowndriver6652]

Brokers are the main reason we don't make money they blatantly rob us all they can on each load. The goverment should step up and do something

[@dandavenport4565]

Very wise to look at money spent shopping in the context of inflation for a more accurate picture. As of Monday, there are 26K unemployed, drivers due to Yellow folding. I imagine that makes shippers nervous. I imagine a good number of them will retire, or at least collect unemployment, while it is available.

Im curious to get your thoughts on the collapse of Yellow Freight Corporation and how it may play into the spot market. Also the last hour save at UPS. My thoughts are, if these two "mega" carrier's (granted LTL and package delivery, respectively) could cause a small ripple effect into the economy. Couldn't a truckload "mega" carrier, operating pennies on the dollar, also be on the very edge of collapse? Of the numbers you showed, of the losses in trucking, how many could be cut backs at these "mega" carrier's, who also are trying to stay afloat? Your right about one thing, theres to many variables to be able to "predict" freights future volumes. Informative video, as always and as always, plan for the worse and hope for the best.

[@skipdegraff6547]

These mega companies are setup to cut throat on prices. They can lose money on loads and drive rates down to increase market share. This is trucking 101 from the 80s and 90s... higher energy and food prices stall growth and the situation can get ugly FAST. It's not really good for anyone. But they think they can make it work out because they have destroyed their competitors

[@jagjitsangha5442]

My shares portfolio up 91% (+60% in Jun-July) and counting. In my trucking analysis at the beginning of the year I’ve used the stocks market (main ETFs) as an important indicator for trucking business. According to my theory, bearish trend over (+/-) three months could indicate that the market entered bear market and hence trucking business will go down. Opposite, bullish market trends (+/- three months of consistent growth) (currently main ETFs on rally towards their absolute maximum of 2022) may indicate that market turns bullish, and hence to me that indicates a positive news for trucking, based on what in theory, I expect that trucking market will begin growing. Based on what I conclude that August is a critical months and if stock market will break through its maximum, trucking will begin growing because stock market will enter into a clear bullish market.

[@periscope1368]

@@gaea5326 every meaningful company has its shares traded on the stock market including those affecting the trucking industry. And their collective growth or de-growth can be used as an indicator of a market conditions such as e.g., sales and consumption an important factors that affect financial gains of those companies. Their financial gains is what stocks market expect them to report every quarter and if expectations aren’t met, shares tanking down or the opposite if expectations are met. Hence, I see reasonably long growing collective stocks as a good sign for trucking industry.

Shippers are losing customers, and with the United States credit rating dropping from a triple A rating for the first time in history, people better prepare for the worst because it hasn’t got here yet. I’m with Landstar, and we’ve had several direct customers (not broker freight) that have had 30-50% declines in available shipments due to their customers order’s experiencing heavy declines. These are manufacturers that have been around since the 40’s and 50’s. Until this administration is gone, and that won’t make it instant, we will not see this market come back or rates go up. Good luck to all.

[@anthonysavino5113]

Please explain to people who deal with brokers that the brokers put in the computer the rates you take. So if you took that load for 1000$ for example the brokers won't budge on the rate. How to deal with that do not deal with the same broker companies you usually deal with. If the new broker offers 1000$ for the load you are trying to book counter offer should be 1650$ always counter super high do not counter offer 50$ or 1000$ over the offering rate. Negotiating skills are key!!!!
