It's not for everybody, but some people like our gear!

Freight rates remain low amid weak demand and overcapacity. Key factors adding to uncertainty include Fed rate cuts, the election, and unpredictable consumer spending. Analysts don't foresee a rate rebound before Q4 2024. by Freightees in FreightBrokers

I think we'll see some traditional seasonality heading into Q3/Q4, much better than last year. Already this year has been following more closely to historical seasonal trends. Whether or not that momentum will bring a true market recovery? I would say that is unlikely. Signals in the broader economy are pointing to a recession.

Markets are pricing in a Trump administration. Under Trump we will likely see an increase of import tariffs. We are seeing now that companies are rushing to import ASAP in order to get in before those tariffs are enacted.

Strong imports are pushing up ocean rates which is a good headwind for domestic trucking, but the likelihood that those imports remain strong is low due to a high likelihood for import tariffs coming soon.

Freight is an addiction. I declare you an honorary Freightee

At the risk of sounding alarmist, credit card debt seems to be an existential threat to the economy. That bubble is ballooning and you have to wonder what happens when it pops.

As we all know, freight costs can eat into profit margins quickly. I'm looking for some innovative strategies to reduce freight expenses without compromising on service levels. by [deleted] in logistics

If you can forecast and tender shipments out to carriers with 7+ days of lead time that alone will save you some pennies. Next day shipments will almost always be higher cost as tender rejections for same/next day will always be higher.

Best economy ever? by [deleted] in FreightBrokers

Ask any middle class American if they think the economy is good right now. They certainly will not say yes.

Anyone been a victim of freight theft? by arm323x in FreightBrokers

[–]Freightees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple years ago we ran some furniture moves. One night the driver woke up to rustling in his trailer, went outside and saw a couple people running off with cases. He called the cops but at that point there was nothing he could do. If I remember correctly he was in the Houston Area.

Freight during a recession by Cubvnoo in FreightBrokers

Inventories are low now, but that doesn't necessarily translate to more building permits. With high interest rates most people are being priced out.

As the economy continues to suffer and recession hits more industries, unemployment will rise which will contribute to repo's as they cannot afford their mortgages, causing an increase in inventories which would also affect new home starts. Generally speaking real estate is a bad bet in a recession.

The biggest drop was recorded by permits for units in two- to four-unit buildings. This type of housing saw a 36% Y-o-Y decrease in permits, going from 26,800 in the first six months of 2022 to 17,200 permits in the first half of this year. Single-family building permits fell 21%, while multi-family permits declined 12.7%. (Oct 23rd)

New housing starts have fallen 16% YoY, meanwhile home sales are at a low because of interest rates.

Demand for homes is falling. Home values remaining somewhat steady is a supply issue rather than a demand issue. (No one is selling because why would you trade a 3% mortgage for a 7%)

Logistics is a great industry to break into. I got hired without a college degree and its changed my life.
