The trucking and logistics market is shifting from pandemic volatility to supply-driven capacity tightening, driven by carrier bankruptcies and regulatory enforcement, with rising costs and a historic driver shortage. Nearshoring to Mexico is reshaping North-South logistics routes, while stricter safety regulations and evolving parcel and LTL markets are increasing operational complexity and pricing pressures.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Logistics Tech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a tougher market where reliable, contracted truck capacity commands a premium and chasing cheap spot rates risks stranded freight. Rebuild your networks to prioritise long-term partnerships with vetted carriers before your competitors do.
