The markets I have been working this year have been extremely busy. As a Freight broker for Sureway Transportation Company I have tools that help me judge what is a fair rate for freight, and it is climbing considerably.
This is good for all my friends out their wheeling a big truck down the highway. I am happy for them to be in such high demand. Although it has not been so good for the customers trying to move their products paying premium rates, with low availability.
I feel our markets are still being driven by some of the Trump era tax cuts. If these remain in place the markets should continue in their direction. Rising freight costs will be the norm especially as fuel demands climb, with people getting out more this summer.
I am also hoping to see more demand from the new business in the US sprouting up to take production back, from countries we have outsourced so much of our sensitive technology too. In today’s world we rely way too much on countries, we should be considering more than a competitor. In the sense of national security, we need to take those products back to be produced here. The jobs that would create would only help our economy grow more.
