Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The State of Freight: Mapping the 2026 Freight Landscape
Q: What demand indicators do we need to see to sustain this rally in rates?
Manufacturing and housing improvements are essential, although current market dynamics are focused more on capacity than demand.
The State of Freight: Mapping the 2026 Freight Landscape
Q: How should we be thinking about trends between domestic versus international intermodal?
International intermodal is dependent on the container trade whereas domestic intermodal relies on the habits of shippers in moving freight.
The State of Freight: A Look Back at 2025
Q: What is your take on the resilience of short haul trucking volume? Is that a structural change?
For sure it is; we've seen short haul volumes grow, while long haul volumes are down significantly.
The State of Freight: A Look Back at 2025
Q: Does the potential of a recession in 2026 further soften demand enough to mitigate capacity constraints?
That's a tough one to answer because nobody saw this past year's downturn in demand coming, but the key is looking at retail spending and inventories to gauge shipper psychology.
The State of Freight: A Look Back at 2025
Q: For a mid-sized fleet, what's the best AI investment right now? Is it route optimization or back office automation?
I think route optimization has already been out in the space for a while now. I think AI is more about back office automation being where the greatest yield lies for mid-sized carriers.
