According to an article recently published in the Wall Street Journal, one way shippers have been responding to the sky high rates in the market right now is to hold off shipping freight. If this is what your company is doing, we have one piece of advice: STOP! If you’re waiting for rates to go down anytime in the future, there are no signs that this perfect storm is slowing down or stopping soon.
If you're looking for a way to communicate what's happening in the market that's making it hard to find a truck at a reasonable rate, I encourage you to read my latest blog in Logistics Management, "Forget the Perfect Storm…This Is Looking Like A Full-Fledged Frankenstorm!"
