Good News--The Freight Market is about to Soar

Transportation Industry is Zooming Up
I sure enjoy reading some good news.  I like news that shows we are on the upswing...news that shows forward movement is on the horizon. I read this very encouraging article by Craig Fuller,  CEO and founder of Sonar, Freightwaves.com.  Thanks Craig.   Here is my recap of and a link to the article:

Freight Market forecasting is tricky, especially today, because of the unprecedented nature of COVID-19.  Craig Fuller points out in his article that electronic tenders are an excellent way to forecast the future of the freight industry.  A tender is an actual, real time request for a load.  The tender is sent from a shipper to a trucking company a few days before the needed pick up.  Thus the tender request is a leading indicator of the direction of the freight market.

In the article Craig has excellent graphs showing this indicator.

Many groceries, consumer goods and healthcare products have consistent freight demand.  Other items such as beverages and produce are more seasonal in nature.  The predictable freight is contracted freight. Contracted freight is largely handled by major carriers.  When this contract market bottoms out then the spot freight market heats up.

Craig writes:  "Over the next few weeks we can expect parts of the economy that impact freight demand will start to come back...spot rates will firm starting in May."

That is excellent news for freight brokers.  Some of the industries that will be slow to restart like travel, large outdoor events and restaurants do not effect the freight industry in a major way.

Stay the course if you are a freight broker or take our course if you'd like to learn a career where the sky is the limit.

Moving forward,

We will Rise

This is an Easter that is different from any Easter I have ever had.  We won't do a lot of the things that normally happen on Easter Sunday.  Our whole week has been quite different from Easter weeks of the past.  Tomorrow is Good Friday, the day Christ followers remember the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.  On that day over 2000 years ago Jesus of Nazareth was crucified on a cross like a common criminal.

The day is a historical day as well as a day prophesied 700 years before it happened. Christ fulfilled 100s of prophesies precisely as it was foretold throughout the Bible.  The Bible is the most historically accurate book ever written.  The Bible has been copied for ages yet the ancient manuscripts match what we read today.

But the wonder of Good Friday is more than just a historical account.  It is an account of the greatest good God has done for mankind.  He wants to be in relationship with the people He loves so intensely that He sent His son to the world, not to condemn but to redeem, to forgive and to give abundant life.

The account of the day the world was dark for 3 hours at midday,  after Christ died, is recorded by many writers in detailed accuracy.

That day, Christ was beaten to the point that he was unrecognizable.  His suffering was intense.  We as a people and as a country are suffering now from the scourge of COVD-19.  But our suffering pales in comparison to Christ's last days on Earth.  He was betrayed by one he loved, he was humiliated in public and he was killed as a criminal when he had done no wrong.  This is what I believe.

I am confidant that we will rise from this crisis.  Christ's victory over death should give us confidence that defies logic, confidence that is miraculous.

Happy Easter!

Moving forward,
