https://t.co/QUp2uSBGgg - Driver shortage impacts not just the majority of carriers, it's the whole #trucking sector taking a hit. Have a look how @leaflogistics helps trucking companies to increase driver satisfaction by providing forward visibility #forwardcontracts

https://t.co/XnB1AdBm4u nice piece on the #Trucking market outlook, it looks like rates continue falling for some time, still there are many unpredictable factors that can completely change the market balance, key unknown being the #macroeconomic development
#ShipperSymposium is right around the corner! We want to give a big thank you and shout out to all of our awesome sponsors! Thank you for your support >> @LoadBoards, @CushWake, CSI Leasing, TRIWAYS,@Lockton and @nscorp
https://t.co/rKfODBwzND #trucking is not immune to the disruptive forces reshaping business models and operations. Forward rate and capacity visibility #forwardcontracts is a key ingredient to fuel transformative efficiency gains for #shippers, #carriers and #3PLs@leaflogistics
https://t.co/fDpmdtx21q Another report full of mixed indicators for the US #trucking market supply and demand. Trailer and truck orders hitting long-term lows, but also tonnage down in Q1 2019. How will #freight rates respond to these contradicting pulls? @leaflogistics
Spot TL rates are falling but they’re relatively strong. Van freight volume last week is actually 11% higher year over year https://t.co/pWcfiJ7YGQ @LoadBoards
The Q4 2018 capacity crunch in the #freight market seems long forgotten. Unless the market becomes more efficient and a forward view is developed, it will happen again and #shippers will once more pay the price #forwardcontracts@leaflogistics
It's difficult to predict the exact impact of the produce season on #DryVan and #reefer rates, good for #shippers and #carriers, who secured their capacity and locked-in rates using #forwardcontracts. Rates and capacity set & guaranteed - pain point sorted. @leaflogistics
