Market Report
February 2021
Expert analysis on the transportation market
The word of the month has been weather and how disruptive it’s been to our domestic truckload, Intermodal, and LTL markets. Please do pay special attention to the insights around the LTL markets from Chris Gula in our report. Shippers, receivers, and carriers all have worked and are working with limited resources which is contributing to service issues.
In this market report we’ll dive deeper into some of those challenges, provide guidance and outlook on what to expect, and how to better address some of these challenges. We have also added some enhancements to assist including: a temperature gauge to assess each of the markets, key takeaways to help navigate and communicate internally, and a breakout of diesel fuel costs to help explain what goes into the costs of diesel fuel.
In this Market Report we will discuss:
- All transportation modes
- Purchasing Managers' Index
- Fuel
