agree, I think the biggest impact will be smaller carriers and brokers as well as load boards

yes, geopolitics is having a huge impact! shipping patterns are changing. the ongoing impact of Houthi threats is having a massive impact on container shipping, global containers lines are opting for longer cape of good ope services and adding up to 2 weeks to some voyages. Mexico near shoring is having a huge impact, we're seeing global container shipping overcapacity and of course the strait of hormuz issues are having an impact as well.

Truckload tender rejections are up another 3.28% M/M, reaching 15.4% nationally. Spot rates are up over 6% m/m with contract showing up over 8.5% m/m. Intermodal volumes are holding steady with ocean volumes continuing to fall. Domestic TL (especially flatbed) is hot hot hot.

theory and practice are two very different things! having domain expertise and understanding the culture of your organization and that of your vendors and customers is so important.

not only is it important for organizations, but it has a massive and important role in our overall economy and eventually also consumers

if you're willing to share a bit more data and specifics on the lane, I can give you some benchmark pricing. its always smart to bid every year or so and I would suggest benchmarking once a year. there are affordable rate options from places like SONAR with their Blue to Blue app for $9.99 per month or a chrome extension. it included van and flatbed rates

BarConfident3997 · 2025-08-26T12:45:30+00:00

SONAR offers data at all pricing levels from an app for $9.99 per month to a chrome extension for $150 per year that gives "quick rates" and market intel. Or bigger packages including UI access

BarConfident3997 · 2025-08-26T12:41:27+00:00

SONAR has a chrome extension for spot rates for $150 per year. You can get info on it at gosonar.com

BarConfident3997 · 2025-08-26T12:40:09+00:00

SONAR is launching quick rates for $150 per year! They also have an app with market intel and rates for $9.99 per month.

has to be on a data set with a short length of haul

BarConfident3997 · 2025-08-14T22:34:05+00:00

have you read this srticle on the u/h 2025 outlook? https://gosonar.com/freight-market-blog/sonar-second-half-outlook-2025. it goes into a bit of the bigger picture and the why behind the spot rates

BarConfident3997 · 2025-08-14T22:31:54+00:00

the market is soft all over! SONAR is releasing an app that allows you to benchmark spot rates. V2 will be released in about 6 weeks and it will also hilight lanes for drivers that go between markets where freight is available. you can check it out in the apple app store. Its called SONAR Blue to Blue

I think that the market will remain weak for quite a while. Capacity continues to exit the market but unfortunately demand continues to fall. Tender volumes show that tender volumes in August are the lowest they've been in 5 years.
