Three LTL CEOs With One Conversation Every Shipper Should Hear
As we celebrate Independence Day and America's 250th birthday, many of us will spend time with family and friends reflecting on the freedoms we enjoy. For supply chain leaders, however, there is another kind of independence worth pursuing—the freedom to compete successfully in an increasingly unpredictable freight market.
Over the past several years, we've experienced pandemics, inflation, carrier bankruptcies, geopolitical conflicts, tariff uncertainty, changing regulations, and shifting carrier strategies. If there's one lesson we've learned, it's this:
Yesterday's transportation strategies are no longer sufficient for tomorrow's freight market.
That reality was reinforced once again in CSCMP's recently released 2026 State of Logistics Report. Volatility is no longer an occasional disruption—it has become the operating environment.
That's why we're excited about our upcoming webinar on Tuesday, July 14 at Noon Central, presented in partnership with CSCMP and the National Industrial Transportation League.
This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to hear directly from the CEOs of three of the Top 10 LTL carriers in the United States discussing where the LTL market is headed and what those changes mean for shippers. In my 42 years in transportation, I can't recall another webcast that has brought together the CEOs of three Top 10 LTL carriers for a single discussion focused exclusively on helping shippers better understand today's market.
Information creates insight. Insight creates competitive advantage. And gaining this level of insight would normally mean having to attend attending a national conference or large industry event. Instead of having to do that, you can hear all three from your desk, ask questions live, or watch the recording afterward.
Among the topics we'll discuss are:
• Where the LTL market is heading over the next 6 to 12 months
• The impact of FedEx Freight becoming an independent company.
• NMFC classification changes and what they really mean.
• Why shipment density and cost-to-serve have become critical competitive differentiators.
• What carriers are looking for in their most valued customers?
• The factors sophisticated shippers evaluate during an LTL sourcing event—far beyond simply comparing rates.
The insights shared during this webcast won't come from market reports or industry speculation. They'll come directly from the executives making strategic decisions inside three of America's leading LTL carriers.
At TranzAct, we've managed billions of dollars in LTL sourcing events for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers across North America. Because we're in the freight market every day, we don't simply analyze market changes—we see them as they happen. That market intelligence helps us consistently deliver exceptional sourcing results while building stronger long-term carrier relationships.
Successful LTL sourcing today requires much more than negotiating rates. It requires understanding how carriers evaluate freight, price capacity, manage their networks, and determine which customers they most want to serve. Those are exactly the kinds of insights our panel will discuss on July 14.
If your organization is planning an LTL sourcing event during the next twelve months—or simply wants an objective assessment of today's market—we'd welcome the opportunity to talk. Our goal is straightforward: help you reduce transportation costs, improve carrier performance, and build a more resilient transportation strategy.
As you enjoy the Independence Day holiday, I hope you'll have the opportunity to recharge and celebrate with those you love.
When business resumes, invest one hour on July 14 and hear directly from three of the industry's most respected LTL leaders. If you register but can't attend live, we'll send you the recording so you won't miss the discussion.
The market is changing. Make sure your sourcing strategy changes with it. Register for the webcast—and if an LTL sourcing event is on your horizon, give TranzAct a call. We'd welcome the opportunity to help you achieve exceptional results.
Have a safe and Happy Fourth of July!
