Shipper’s Guide: Getting Logistics a Seat at the Table.
Our latest Industry Update is essential reading for shippers looking to decode the conflicting signals of a market currently stuck in what we call the "waiting room." By diving into the full report, you will gain the critical foresight needed to understand why a definitive recovery remains elusive and how to strategically position your supply chain for the inevitable—though delayed—transition into the next market cycle.
Inside the update, we break down the complex data behind this period of stagnation. While the Cass Freight Index shows a slight month-over-month shipment volume increase of 0.7%, the 7.6% year-over-year decline reveals a market still fighting uphill against 2024 benchmarks. We explore the current "tug-of-war" between tightening capacity—driven by shrinking private fleets and a reduction in CDL holders—and the soft demand caused by high inventory levels and persistent tariffs. This update provides the data-driven roadmap your business needs to move beyond guesswork and into high-level strategic planning for 2026. Read the report below.
