Will Trucking Improve in 2025?

[@zackanderson2298]

Dropped my load off this Monday morning and then proceeded to the nearest truck stop to sit for the next load, I had to go to 3 different truck stops to find a parking spot. This was at 10:30am, on a Monday. The industry is broken.

They won’t be regulated…they have multiple annual meetings with plenty support in Washington. Independents are so divided …can’t unite 10 under same ideology. So UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED won’t help any independent…and everyone else knows that including the brokers… So the BIG BOSSES won’t regulate anything including the brokers… How many Independents are willing to pay for a small organization fee…let’s say $50 per month? Any organization with results in Washington cost money….

The market will never get better. The industry will always be flooded with drivers, broker's will never be regulated, tolls will always increase, fuel will remain high and so on. What's going on now is the new norm. Get used to it or leave.

[@notesgo1556]

I agree. Because in the end when ppl believe it's "getting better" everybody will jump in or back in. If it's good it'll only be that way for a few months followed by a year or 2 of turmoil because there are too many trucks on the road. The only way the industry will even get somewhat better is if they get these crook ssa brokers under control.

[@XTXUSA]

I'm not a broker but I'm am curious how you would get loads without brokering platforms or if they disappeared overnight?? I'm also not thrilled with brokers but I don't know what the answer is, since i don't know the old way.

[@galactictruckingsolutions3666]

@@XTXUSA If the Brokers were gone, then let's say a online platform was to have a way that Shippers and Carriers can review loads without them. Just me talking out loud.

[@XTXUSA]

@@galactictruckingsolutions3666 I get that but the fraud is insane and unqualified dangerous drivers would not be regulated. I'm for deregulation in many respects, however not that part. So the shippers don't want to broker their own needs, so they farm it out. if they went direct to carriers then you will create a closed market b/c they will only use large carriers. IDK what the answer is but the broker has zero liability and takes a vast majority of the money sitting behind a desk while the carrier assumes all the risk and make .30c per mile and have all the compliance expenses. Its a VERY broken system which illegal drivers, carriers and fraud have ruined American trucking. I know how it happened but I'll keep it off this forum.

I’m thinking they were going to beg Me back ….. no, they state that I’ve been called for a random…. I remind that I’m no longer pulling loads for them.

Very good broad look at the industry. The fact that contract rates are declining and capacity is shrinking combined with election results to me means a continuing better results on OTR and markets. Let's see how this play out.

[@Prodigal1]

Contract rates declining is NOT a good sign. When they get good rates and rejections decrease because their rates are good it means the economy is improving and then good rates will also hit the spot market. I love Miranda but vehemently disagree with her on contract carrier rejections increasing being a good thing. I believe it’s just the opposite!

[@mehmoodanwer974]

One issue would be the increase in commercial truck insurance offsetting lower fuel cost...a slight increase in rates wouldn't help..

[@borisscepanovic1684]

Miranda,what if I tell you that in Canada you have more than half carriers not letting their O/O know anything about rates the are hauling loads for?O/O waiting on their pay cheque and pay statements to see how much they were driving for last month.Titanium Transportation Group invented that way and now more and more carriers are following that path so by the end of next year it’s going to be a standard in Canada. Having said that,what transparency can we expect from the brokers if we don’t have it under our own roof?

[@nenadvidojevic8746]

Dear Miranda, I love your reports, but there is one thing which bothers me a lot. Rate per mile: we are burning the fuel per mile and maintenance cost us per mile....I've been around in the times when load per mile was the same no matter where you go, from Florida or to Florida, from E to W or N to S or other way around. My point is "market price " is made by brokers and I still see that brokers take 60% or more of the load price. Personally confirmed , maybe not all of them but majority. Load gets who is faster on the phone or on email not who pays less. Along with other problems that, I would say is number one.

[@53step]

Have you ever had direct freight the money is there to pay 6.00 a mile but shippers make one call to a broker and there done if they knew what they were taking off the top they would probably do things differently maybe not who knows

[@semird615]

Even though co.panies are cloaing down, freight is kess and less and carriers take BS loads for ridicilously low rates. The supply and demand thing seema like a theory now. We are approaching holiday season and it's looking worse than ever.

It will improve in a year. Go like hell for a couple years maybe 3 then crash again and everything you made will go right back into trying to maintain until you get thru the next downturn which will be 3 or 4 years then you will start all over again.

[@travishudson6178]

I just do not see rates getting any better for the Single truck Owner Operators. In the game we are the only ones subjected to being outbid by Mega Carriers with Endless Credit like our government with no concern of paying it back. Another factor is they are self insured so they are not paying the 2k a month insurance premiums. I do hope that this new administration brings in better regulations like getting rid of the stupid 70 hours over 8 days and the mandatory 34 hour reset.

As someone with millions of cdl road miles who has been in trucking since 2021 as driver,manager,dispatch,company owner i can say Miranda you are smarter then 80% of this freight experts that are being paid millions for this reports but have no clue what they are talking about. I will correct you if diesel drops down to $1 drivers will not make much more because brokers and shippers will drop their rates imediatelly telling you fuel prices have come down its just common sense in trucking industry problem is when fuel goes up brokers and shippers are not adopting imediatelly then it takes long time for them to addopt when they have to pay more. Also if this winter we got a lot of snow i will not predict i guarantee good paying loads will be in upper midwest where there will be lot's of snow,ice,road closures etc it's allways like that more risk more proffit, many drivers will stay down south where is nice to drive so freight prices will drop on south because of so much trucks and not enough freight it's common sense. I think we are entering recession and only way we can avoid it if next administration can achieve what they promised so we can Kick the Can down the road a bit more before recession.
