Are we going into another energy crisis? The USA's fuel reserves are now at a 50-year low as OPEC announces production cuts and the Russian Invasion is causing a gas and energy shortage across Europe and Great Britain. It's also been decades since a new oil refinery has been built in the USA. All of these factors lead us to fear that an energy crisis with gas shortages and fuel lines could soon be looming. Bob Costello, chief economist with the American Trucking Associations, guides us through these widespread issues as we look at diesel prices into the fall and winter.

Is the freight market flooded with small trucking companies? Billy Barstow with Barstow Transportation thinks the line haul rates are lowering because of unsustainable competition from the increase of trucking companies over the last couple years. Now, larger retailers are taking temporary losses to expand their own fleets. Combine all of this with increasing diesel fuel and bad brokers trying to overreach, small carriers are feeling immense pressure in the market today.

Fuel Costs are rising while Line Haul rates are falling. Smaller carriers are feeling the compression in the freight industry. Billy Barstow with Barstow Transportation walks us through this year's challenges as a small carrier. High diesel prices, low rates and bad brokers trying to undercut the small trucking companies. The current state of the freight market is not sustainable for small carriers. Billy states that if the compression continues through the 4th quarter without any mitigation, then there will be serious impacts on his business.
What affects Diesel cost? And how are the prices calculated? John and Joe dive into the reasons why diesel fuels cost more than gasoline and other fuel. Today the high diesel prices are a global issue. Declining number of refineries, higher operating costs, and much less demand than other fuel types. Diesel is still it's a major driving factor in the total costs of the logistics industry.

What types of partnerships do you need to run a successful shipping operation? And, how do you maintain those relationship to withstand market impacts? Todd Burk joins us again from Icon Foods! Todd speaks upon the value of having a variety of partnerships and how those partnerships can affect shippers in the spot market.
As we move closer to recession and the market is continuing to be volatile, shippers in the spot market and owner operators are starting to feel the burn of skyrockeing fuel costs. Diesel prices, holiday seasons and consumer confidence all impact major players that can benefit from strengthened partnerships.
As the market continues to tighten in the logistics & freight shipping industry, more businesses are feeling the burn. Shipping claims and bankruptcy claims are increasing in parts of the market that are the most impacted by the volatility. Zachary Elrod with Allianz Trade North America discusses his experience with bankruptcy support and the overall trend of the market over the next several months.
When a food recall is announced, there is a significant amount of urgency that is needed by shippers, carriers and logistics companies to secure every lot of affected product and provide proof of disposal. John Mahle with Triple T Transport describes his experience with contacting affected retailers and warehouses, while Creg Feilding with Fusionware shares his digital solution to pinpointing every piece of contaminated food produc across multiple storage facilities nationwide.
Craig Feilding with Fusionware shares his experience with food tracking and John describes how the importance of food storage during transport has changed over the last few decades. Now, food safety trackrs can keep track of recalled food all the way down to the geneology of the seeds and the lot shipments as they travel through multiple checkpoints.
The freight & transportation market has been very unpredictable over the last two years. Usually, the budgets for the year are already set by March, but many companies are stuggling to make budget projections with the volatile diesel prices and fluctuating consumer demaind as inflation hits the economy. Wendy Workman with SK Food Group discusses her experience with trying to navigate a budget during this uncertian time.
In this episode Dan North from Allianz Trade North America describes how we arrived at this point in the North American market and what we may expect for next year in the financial markets. Meanwhile, diesel fuel prices continue to remain high after a historic increase. Dan describes how freight, shipping and the cost of goods have all been affected by the high diesel fuel prices, and has made an impact on the total inflation that has been seen this year.
Inflation is the #1 topic this week in the logistics industry. John & Joe discuss last week's economic update from Bob Costello and his forecasts on the freight economy. Joe Lombardo talks us through a deeper dive on inflation and it's effects on diesel, OEM equipment, new trucks, parts and the price of goods. John talks about how E-commerce is slowing down from pandemic-highs.
John Mahle and Robert Costello with the ATA discuss the labor forecast and the diesel production for the logistics industry. Trucking equipment manufacturers are still struggling to catch up with demand but the larger carriers are not selling/offloading equipment as much as before, in preparation for future growth.
Bob Costello with the American Trucking Association shares his insights into what the major impacts are on the freight industry. Bob has seen economic growth increase dramatically over the last year, but slower growth into this year. We still see supply chain issues in getting new transportation equipment from the manufacturers. Drivers are still down from the pre-pandemic level but we are seeing an inflow of drivers as the demand increases and as the compensation rate matches inflation.
Why is the market changing so much? We've been seeing increases in fuel inflation and natural slowdowns in some areas of the industry, but John Mahle and Joe Lombardo both agree that the capacity for transportation demand can come back up quickly under the right conditions. In this episode we dive deeper into the individual capacity issues, where they will continue to tighten up and when to start seeing some relief.
A common theme underlying the current strains in the transportation industry (on-time delivery, volatile pricing and high staff turnover) is the expectations of transportation managers, in the current environment, resulting in unrealistic expectations. John Mahle with Triple T Transport and Joe Lombardo with Ege Avenue Associates discuss the reality of the market and how to view the current issues plaguing the industry today.

Service is affected by market constraints in the logistics industry. On-time delivery becomes more and more difficult for shippers and carriers as the market moves into rough conditions. Joe Lombardo and John Mahle discuss the importance of monitoring good shipping/receiving data to get in front of thes service issues before they happen. How to handle late fees and maintain a shipper/carrier relationship during the tough months.
Sometimes a shortcut can lead to higher long-term costs. John and Joe discuss the decisions that stakeholders in an organization have to navigate when determining the best business practices for freight shipments. Multiple stakeholders with clashing needs, brokers, consultants, deadlines and regional shipping routes, all of these factors can lead to an unsustainable pricing structure.
What is an unloading fee and what does it pay for? John asks Joe Lombardo from Ege Avenue Associates if he can see an end in sight for unloading fees and lumper charges. Do they even make sense from a budgeting and auditing perspective?
Now that we know what a "Shipper Of Choice" is, we must strive to become the best at maintaining our valuable carrier partnerships. The logistics industry is facing a critical level of challenges: supply chain disruptions, fuel price increases and a growing need for stronger partnerships to weather this storm. John walks us through the options with Scott Oliver of HP Hood and Slate Kamp of Litehouse Logistics, to see what shippers can do to become the best partners for the supply chain and for their clients.
