Three LTL Leaders. One Message. And a Supply Chain Reality You Can't Ignore.

How often do you get the opportunity to hear directly from three leaders representing three of the Top 10 LTL carriers in the United States?

On July 14, TranzAct, CSCMP, and NIT League will host a special webcast featuring Rob Estes of Estes Express, Scott Sullivan of Pitt Ohio, and Charlie Prickett of AAA Cooper.

If you ship LTL freight, this webinar will feature a discussion you don’t want to miss.

The LTL industry has undergone significant change over the last several years. Carrier networks have evolved. Capacity dynamics have shifted. Pricing structures continue to change. Service expectations are rising. And shippers are being asked to make increasingly important decisions with less certainty than ever before.

Most transportation professionals spend a great deal of time hearing what people think carriers are doing. This webcast gives you the opportunity to hear directly from carrier leadership about what is actually happening in the market.

What are they seeing?
How are they thinking about pricing?
What operational challenges are they managing?
What investments are they making?
And what do they believe will shape the future of the LTL industry?

Those answers matter because they will influence your transportation costs, service performance, and supply chain strategy in the months ahead.

I would encourage you to register for the webinar not only yourself but also your transportation, procurement, operations, and supply chain teams. The insights shared during this session could have a direct impact on decisions your organization will be making throughout the remainder of 2026.

Another great resource you don’t want to ignore is the CSCMP State of Logistics report.

The companies that will struggle over the next 12 months won't necessarily be the ones facing the biggest disruptions. They'll be the ones that failed to prepare for them.

That may sound harsh, but it's exactly the message coming out of CSCMP's recently released 37th Annual State of Logistics Report. After decades of studying transportation and supply chain trends, the conclusion is becoming increasingly clear: disruption and volatility are no longer temporary conditions. They are now permanent features of the business landscape.

Economic uncertainty. Geopolitical risk. Labor challenges. Weather disruptions. Capacity shifts. Regulatory changes. Supply chains today face a steady stream of variables that can quickly alter cost structures and service performance.

That is a major reason why TranzAct has invested so heavily in helping clients understand emerging risks and opportunities before they become problems. Through our webcast series, we've brought industry thought leaders like Dr. Yossi Sheffi, Jim Tompkins, and many others to our clients because informed decisions begin with informed leadership. We also held an interview with Mark Baxa recently to capture his thoughts about the CSCMP State of Logistics report.

The question every executive should be asking is: "How vulnerable is my supply chain to the next disruption?"

Taking advantage of educational resources important, but information alone is not enough. That's where our Supply Chain Edge team and Rapid Assessment process come into play.

The goal is simple: Identify vulnerabilities, evaluate exposure, and explore options in order to develop practical strategies that improve resilience while helping control transportation costs.

The organizations that continue to view supply chain management primarily as a cost center are putting themselves at risk. Because the reality is that no company wants to discover weaknesses in its supply chain during a disruption. By then, it's too late.

Meanwhile, leading companies are taking a different approach. They're investing in supply chains as strategic assets. They understand that transportation performance, supplier resilience, inventory positioning, network design, and risk management directly impact customer experience, revenue growth, and profitability. In short, they're building competitive advantage.

The message from CSCMP's State of Logistics Report is clear. Volatility is here to stay. The question is whether your organization is prepared.
