Higher Rates, Thinner Margins: The Carrier Profitability Trap

Return to this page on July 9 at 2 p.m. ET  to watch this webinar. 

For much of the past two years, the trucking industry’s prevailing narrative was one of survival. A prolonged freight recession pressured rates, sidelined equipment and forced carriers of all sizes to reduce costs wherever possible.

Now, freight volumes are improving and rates are showing signs of recovery. But for many carriers, a stronger market has not translated into stronger profits.

Why? Because the cost structure has changed. Fuel, insurance and driver expenses have shifted materially since 2022, and the strategies that helped fleets endure the downturn may not be enough to succeed in today’s environment.

How can fleets start making more strategic, profitable freight decisions? PCS Software CEO Mark Hill joins Transport Topics’ Seth Clevenger to examine what is changing in the freight market, why some carriers are falling behind despite stronger demand and how to optimize load selection for your fleet.
