Freight brokers’ increased penetration of the trucking market and a surge in small-business loans during the pandemic have contributed to the stubbornly slow pace of capacity exiting the market and are keeping spot rates from moving meaningfully higher. Truckload margins have been under pressure from rising costs and depressed rates. In this Talking Transports podcast, Craig Fuller, FreightWaves founder and chief executive officer, joins Lee Klaskow, Bloomberg Intelligence’s senior transportation and logistics analyst, to share his insights about the state of the North American trucking market and the future of the industry. Fuller also speaks about the feasibility of electric and autonomous trucks technologies as well as his love for cab-over designs.
